Today, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., a fearless champion for justice, equality, and human dignity. From standing beside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement to founding Operation PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition, Rev. Jackson dedicated his life to expanding opportunity, protecting voting rights, advancing economic justice, and keeping hope alive for generations. The National Civil Rights Museum was proud to present Rev. Jackson with the 2018 Freedom Award, recognizing a lifetime of service and moral leadership. He was also a consistent presence at our annual April 4th commemoration at the Lorraine Motel, the site where Dr. King was assassinated. Year after year, he returned not just to remember, but to recommit, reminding us that the work continues. His voice challenged power. His faith inspired action. His life changed history. We extend our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and to all who carry forward his mission. Rest...
