Jesse Jackson, Sr. participated in the Selma-to-Montgomery civil rights march in 1965; Martin Luther King, Jr., put Jackson in charge of several civil rights projects in Chicago, and Jackson was eventually appointed to head Operation Breadbasket, an organization created by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1963 to organize boycotts of businesses that failed to hire blacks or otherwise treated blacks unfairly. Despite King's and Jackson's professional relationship, the two men were known to clash on several occasions. Jackson has often overstated the closeness of his relationship to King, even claiming to have been the last person King spoke to after he had been fatally shot in 1968; when confronted with plain facts on the issue, Jackson has resorted to Biblical parallels, comparing his relationship to King with Paul's relationship to Jesus.
Specifically, Jackson claimed that he was on the balcony with King immediately after the latter had been mortally wounded by an assassin's bullet on April 4, 1968, and that he had cradled the dying civil rights leader in his arms as he took his final breaths. At the moment King was shot, Jackson was actually in a nearby parking lot talking to a group of musicians. Kenneth Timmerman describes what happened next: "When the shots rang out, he [Jackson] fled and hid behind the swimming pool area and reappeared 20-30 minutes later when the television cameras arrived on the scene. That's when Jesse Jackson told other Southern Christian Leadership Conference staffers, 'Don't you talk to the press, whatever you do.' ... Nobody had given him that job. He took that job. Call it 'entrepreneurial instinct' if you wish, but on the spot he realized that he had an opportunity to spin the events to create his own persona and create a possibility for him to become a leader in the black movement. He had no prospects at that point."
The next morning, Jackson flew to Chicago to make a guest appearance on the NBC "Today Show." In the few hours that had passed between the King assassination and Jackson's flight to the Windy City, Jackson had already hired a public relations agent to accompany him as he was transported from interview to interview in a chauffeur-driven car. Before a national television audience on the "Today" show, Jackson donned a shirt that he claimed was smeared with the dying Dr. King's blood. "He died in my arms," lied Jackson.
