Quick Glance: Rev. Jesse Jackson Steps Down, Relinquishing Longtime Civil Rights Leadership Role
- Jesse L. Jackson Sr. is stepping down as president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, a prominent civil rights organization that emerged from Operation PUSH, founded by the longtime civil rights leader 50 years ago.
- The official announcement will be made on Sunday at the annual Rainbow PUSH convention in Chicago, where Jackson's successor will be named, as reported by Politico.
- Jackson, 81 years old, who emerged from the Civil Rights Movement to advocate for causes including gender equality and economic and social justice, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease eight years ago, a neurodegenerative disease that also affected his father.
- Martin Luther King Jr., who had given him a role in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, also became a mentor to many other civil rights activists.
