"Rev. Jackson was one of the most recognizable and consequential champions for civil and human rights in this country in the late 20th century," advocacy group Unity Group of Chattanooga said in a statement. "His leadership helped shape the conscience of a nation. He used his national influence to advance the struggle for justice, dignity and opportunity for all Americans."

Furthermore, with each visit to Chattanooga, Jackson brought a consistent message, declaring "civility matters, economic empowerment matters and education matters and is essential to the hopes, dreams and aspirations of young people," the statement said.
