Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader and King ally, dies at 84

“Our father was a servant leader — not just for our family, but for the oppressed, the voiceless and the forgotten around the world,” the Jackson family said. “We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality and love uplifted millions of people, and we ask that you honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values ​​he lived.”
