Queens -
The Reverend Jesse Jackson led a march to a Laurelton house surrounded by weeds after calling for a new civil rights movement to fight rising foreclosures and high-cost lending that have plagued minorities disproportionately – and southeast Queens, in particular.
“This is the economic crisis of our time,” Jackson said at St. Luke’s Cathedral on 232nd Street.
