Episode Details

Chicago hosts a major celebration of life for the late Reverend Jesse Jackson Senior, with former U.S. presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Bill Clinton, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, set to speak. Grammy winner BeBe Winans will also perform. The event, organized by the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, is expected to be the largest yet, following memorial services in Chicago and South Carolina. Jackson, who passed away last month at 84, was known for his work on voting rights, healthcare, jobs, education, and pushing for fairness. Despite a rare neurological disorder, he continued working until last year. A planned event in Washington, D.C. is on hold, but Jacksons legacy lives on through the lives he touched.
