"It seemed to rain without ceasing and became muddy and people were hurt, and we were still traumatized by Dr. King's assassination. Then while in the Resurrection City, Robert Kennedy was killed." Jesse Jackson told NPR, remembering his time at the Poor People’s Campaign in 1968.
Jackson was declared ‘mayor’ of Resurrection City as thousands gathered for six weeks in an encampment on the National Mall.
