Rev. Jesse Jackson, a titan of the Civil Rights Movement, who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Martin Luther King Jr, carried the fight to the ballot as a presidential candidate, negotiated the release of hostages across the globe, and boldly challenged corporations on diversity and voting rights, has died.
A proud HBCU alum (North Carolina A & T '64).
A relentless advocate.
A historic voice for justice.
His influence and impact will echo for generations. #RIP #JesseJackson
