Charismatic civil rights leader and Baptist minister Jesse Jackson, who rose from the segregated South to become a close associate of Martin Luther King Jr. and twice sought the Democratic presidential nomination, has died at age 84. Jackson, a gifted orator and longtime advocate for Black Americans and other marginalized communities, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2017. He founded influential civil rights organizations Operation PUSH and the National Rainbow Coalition, and served as a special envoy to Africa under President Bill Clinton, demonstrating a talent for personal diplomacy that secured the release of Americans held captive abroad in places like Syria, Cuba, Iraq, and Serbia. Despite facing controversies, Jackson remained a prominent figure in the civil rights movement for decades, inspiring millions with his powerful speeches and running unexpectedly strong presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, which, while not resulting in a nomination, paved the way for future Black candidates.
