"The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a longtime civil rights leader and two-time Democratic presidential candidate, died Tuesday morning at the age of 84, his family said in a statement.
Jackson ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988, becoming one of the most prominent Black political leaders of his era and expanding his national profile beyond the civil rights movement.
Jackson is survived by his wife, Jacqueline; their children — Santita, Jesse Jr., Jonathan, Yusef and Jacqueline; daughter Ashley Jackson; and grandchildren."
