[An American civil rights activist, politician, and ordained
Baptist minister.
A protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. during
the civil rights movement, he became one of
the most prominent civil rights leaders
of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

From 1991 to 1997, he served as a shadow delegate
and shadow senator for the District of Columbia.
He was the father of U.S.
Representative Jonathan Jackson and
former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr.

Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson began
his activism in the 1960s and
founded the organizations that
later merged to form the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.
Expanding his work into international affairs
in the 1980s, he became a vocal critic
of the Reagan administration and launched
a presidential campaign in 1984.
Initially viewed as a fringe candidate,
he finished third for the Democratic nomination
behind former Vice President Walter Mondale
and Senator Gary Hart.

He continued his activism and mounted
a second presidential bid in 1988,
finishing as the runner‑up
to Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis.]
