Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From a report of a speech by Jesse Jackson to the Republican Party, in the
New York Times, 21 January 1978. This left-leaning newspaper is renowned for high
journalistic standards.
‘Blacks will vote Republican if Republicans will go after their votes and look after their
interests’, the Rev Jesse L Jackson told the Republican National Committee today. A
standing ovation greeted the message from the Chicago‐based civil rights leader, who
had been invited before the committee as part of an effort by the Republican national
chairman, Bill Brock, to reverse the devastating decline in the party’s share of black
5
votes. Mr Jackson preached self‐help and warned of moral decay, even as he invited
Republican competition for black votes and argued that blacks should register as
Republicans so they could, ‘broaden our political options and avoid being taken for
granted by the Democrats’. Mr Jackson said that the Republicans had lost some black
votes in 1976, perhaps enough to cost them the election, ‘because they simply did not go
after them’. He warned, ‘The Republican Party needs black people if it is to ever 10
compete for national office – or, in fact, to keep it from becoming an extinct party’.
