"Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson."

The event brought together major Democratic figures and civil rights activists reflecting on Jackson’s decades of political influence.

“He was a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and "street smarts."

"It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of civil rights leader and founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the Honorable Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson Sr.”

Jackson was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013, which was reclassified as PSP in April 2025.
