Civil Rights Leader Jesse Jackson Passes Away at 84

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has died at the age of 84. According to RTHK, Jackson was a prominent figure in the 1960s civil rights movement, working alongside the late Martin Luther King Jr. to advocate for the rights of African Americans in the United States. Following King's legacy, Jackson emerged as a leading figure in the civil rights movement, gradually extending his influence into the political arena. He ran twice for the Democratic presidential nomination, although he did not succeed. His efforts are credited with paving the way for former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris to enter the core of White House power.
