Quote United States civil rights leader Jesse Jackson dies, aged 84 American civil rights leader Jesse Jackson died on Tuesday at the age of 84, according to a statement from his family. Jackson, who worked alongside Martin Luther King in the 1960s, was awarded the Légion d'honneur, France's highest order of merit, in 2021 in recognition of his lifetime of activism. https://www.rfi.fr/en/international/2026021...on-dies-aged-84 Say what you will about him, but he did alot of good for black Americans and civil rights movement back in the day. RIP to an icon. It feels like end of an era This post has been edited by Kobedock90 on 17th February 2026 17:10 |
