Jackson’s presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 played a significant role in shaping the modern Democratic Party<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights leader who bridged the era of Martin Luther King Jr. with the modern world and whose two presidential runs in the 1980s set the stage for today\u2019s progressive movement, died early Tuesday, his family announced. He was 84.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur father was a servant leader \u2015 not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,\u201d the family said in a statement. \u201cWe shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement did not list a cause of death but noted that Jackson died peacefully surrounded by family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jackson was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s in 2013. His diagnosis changed to progressive supranuclear palsy, a neurodegenerative disorder, in April 2025, his Rainbow Coalition\/PUSH organization said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was hospitalized<\/a> in November for about two weeks and later also received care at an acute nursing facility for the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rev. Al Sharpton paid tribute to Jackson in a statement\u00a0, writing that \u201cour nation lost one of its greatest moral voices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReverend Jackson stood wherever dignity was under attack, from apartheid abroad to injustice at home. His voice echoed in boardrooms and in jail cells. His presence shifted rooms. His faith never wavered,\u201d Sharpton wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in segregated Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson was a prodigy who would become nationally known by his early 20s, become a controversial figure in both white and Black America by the age of 30, help resolve international crises in his 40s, host a CNN<\/a> show and become a presidential confidant in his 50s, and become a respected elder statesman in the new millennium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An electrifying speaker, Jackson could never escape the criticism that he was more flash than follow-through. Other politicians, even ideological allies, viewed him as untrustworthy and ego-driven. Conservatives argued Jackson added fuel to the fire of racial divides for his own benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Electoral success eluded him \u2014 his only successful campaign was for a wholly symbolic office in Washington, D.C. But his campaigns for president in 1984 and 1988 helped create the image of what the modern Democratic Party<\/a> seeks to be but rarely seems to achieve: a multiracial coalition of voters dedicated to economic fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there was no Jesse Jackson, in my view, there never would have been a President Barack Obama<\/a>,\u201d Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/a> (I-Vt.) said in 2020 while campaigning alongside Jackson, a man he has repeatedly cited as an inspiration. However, Jackson, who campaigned as an unflinching economic progressive and critic of American foreign policy, also set the stage for Sanders\u2019 own runs for the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson was the son of an unwed teenage mother who grew up across the street from his father\u2019s legitimate family, a rejection that friends told reporters still stung decades later. He became class president and a star athlete in high school, and later played college football at the University of Illinois and North Carolina A&T. He graduated from the latter school in 1964 with a degree in sociology, also serving as class president there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After participating in a sit-in at a public library in Greenville while in college, he moved to Chicago to attend divinity school and become more involved in the Civil Rights Movement. He participated in marches from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama and established a branch of the King-led Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Chicago. He was later appointed to lead SCLC\u2019s economic arm, Operation Breadbasket, which organized boycotts of businesses the organization believed did not promote economic opportunities for African Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jackson\u2019s evident ambition and drive impressed and occasionally annoyed King, but they chafed other civil rights leaders. His actions following King\u2019s assassination in 1968 would lead to a permanent split between him and King\u2019s family. Jackson, who was standing below the balcony where King was shot, appeared on television the next day wearing a shirt stained with King\u2019s blood. Other SCLC leaders were appalled, and Coretta Scott King never forgave Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1971, Ralph Abernathy and others pushed Jackson out of SCLC leadership, even though he argued he was merely continuing King\u2019s desire to focus on economic justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson, in a 2008 interview with CNN, defended his actions in the wake of King\u2019s death as those of a traumatized young man: \u201cIf I made mistakes in those hours, they were the mistakes of grief, not ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson went on to found PUSH, or People United To Serve Humanity, which led or threatened high-profile boycotts of businesses including McDonald\u2019s, Anheuser-Busch, Sears and Japanese automakers. He asked the companies to hire more Black employees, invest more in Black communities and businesses, and advertise more in Black-owned media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new frontier of civil rights is economic \u2014 silver rights,\u201d Jackson said in a speech in 1984. \u201cIf we can spend a trillion dollars a year as consumers, we ought to have something to show for it besides receipts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservatives and business leaders would denounce Jackson as little more than a shakedown artist, arguing the commitments he secured from companies seeking to avoid or end boycotts did more to benefit his political allies than the Black population at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also became a somewhat unlikely negotiator for the United States while dealing with left-wing authoritarian governments around the world: He negotiated with Syrian President Hafez al-Assad in 1983 to secure the release of an American pilot shot down over Lebanon, and with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro the next year for the release of 22 Americans held there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These bouts of international statesmanship helped set the stage for Jackson\u2019s presidential runs in 1984 and 1988. Made during President Ronald Reagan\u2019s administration \u2014 the peak power of the conservative movement \u2014 Jackson\u2019s run, especially his second, would form the basis of the modern progressive movement, the earliest stirrings of progressive dissent from neoliberalism. He challenged the so-called \u201cAtari\u00a0Democrats<\/a>,\u201d young, moderate politicians like Colorado Sen. Gary Hart, then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson tried to escape the idea that he was a candidate specifically for Black voters, beginning to transform himself into an economic populist. He won over the Alabama state legislature, whose membership included former National Guardsmen who stared him down as a protester, with a speech railing against \u201cHonda and Toyota, Suzuki and Yamaha, Sony and Panasonic, being unloaded at the docks and replacing Buick and Chrysler in the American market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He turned the tiny town of Greenfield, Iowa \u2014 population roughly 2,200 in 1980 and lily-white \u2014 into a statewide campaign headquarters, winning over farmers with his knowledge of agricultural economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wanted to double the federal education budget, endorsed a version of what we now call \u201cMedicare for All,\u201d and proposed the creation of a national infrastructure bank, tax hikes on the rich and a freeze on military spending. He denounced the Reagan administration\u2019s wars in Central America and its close relationship with apartheid South Africa. He campaigned on Native American reservations and reached out to gay and lesbian voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow \u2015 red, yellow, brown, black and white \u2015 and we\u2019re all precious in God\u2019s sight,\u201d he said in a speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention, adding: \u201cWe must leave racial battle grounds and come to economic common ground and moral higher ground. America, our time has come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first campaign, he was treated mainly as a nuisance. His dream of an alliance between Blacks and progressive whites seemed foolhardy. But after winning 18% of the vote, including more than four-fifths of the Black vote, he began his second campaign in 1988 as a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His outreach to working-class whites picked up. White economic populists like Texas\u2019 Jim Hightower backed him, and he won over three times as many white votes as he did in 1984 \u2014 \u201cA lot of them are real rednecks,\u201d he joked about his new supporters. He earned nearly 30% of the vote and won 13 primaries or caucuses, essentially sweeping the Deep South. He took the race to the convention and fell short to Dukakis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing in Time magazine after the election, the historian Garry Willis said Dukakis\u2019 loss was due in large part to his decision to keep Jackson and the liberal populism he represented at arm\u2019s length: \u201cDukakis treated Jackson as an embarrassment, something he had to cope with, placate, keep a healthy distance from. This would lead him into his worst mistake, the renunciation of ideology, the attempt to build a middle constituency from scratch in the name of \u2018competence.\u2019 In effect, he fled his base instead of building on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all his progressive bona fides, Jackson was a minister with a distinct social conservative streak. He opposed abortion rights early in his political career, calling abortion \u201cthe ultimate human rights issue.\u201d He bemoaned teen pregnancy and \u201cbabies making babies.\u201d He lectured teenagers about the evils of drug use, supported the death penalty for drug traffickers and was in favor of putting more cops on the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we do not set moral standards for our children, the drug merchant will,\u201d he told a gathering of Black ministers in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson\u2019s campaigns registered Black voters en masse, which party operatives credited with helping Democrats to win control of the Senate in 1986. They also served as an incubator for a cadre of Black women who would go on to play major roles in Democratic politics, including Donna Brazile, the Rev. Leah Daughtry and Minyon Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the 1980s in particular, Jackson battled accusations of antisemitism after he referred to New York City as \u201chymietown\u201d when speaking to a Washington Post reporter, which he would later apologize for. He also refused to distance himself from Louis Farrakhan, a fellow Chicago-based Black political and religious leader with a long history of antisemitic remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1990s, Jackson\u2019s fame led him to host a debate show on CNN, titled \u201cBoth Sides With Jesse Jackson.\u201d Most episodes featured two experts or politicians debating a topic, with Jackson primarily serving as moderator and often delivering an editorial comment at the end of an episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also won his only election in 1990, moving to Washington, D.C., to become one of the district\u2019s two \u201cshadow senators\u201d \u2014 an unpaid job dedicated to lobbying for D.C. statehood. Local reporters noted Jackson was not always present in D.C., even missing the first day of Congress\u2019 session in 1991 to address a conference of television executives in Los Angeles. He did not run for reelection in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 1992, Jackson would unwittingly become the host of one of the most famous political maneuvers in history. Clinton, then the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, appeared at a conference for the Rainbow Coalition and denounced the group for giving a platform to Sister Souljah, a singer and rapper with a history of controversial remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speech seemed designed to embarrass the more liberal Jackson. Years later, he would tell The Washington Post he made a strategic decision to move on from the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI suppose the lowest moment in the relationship was the Sister Souljah tactic that was employed against us at our conference,\u201d Jackson said during an interview about his relationship with Clinton. \u201cIt was in many ways beneath his dignity \u2026 I had to accept the personal blow for the higher and greater good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After spending much of the 1980s working to defeat the Atari Democrats and the moderate Democratic Leadership Council, Jackson spent the 1990s advising Clinton, the DLC\u2019s greatest success. While criticizing Clinton\u2019s moves to reform welfare, he advised him on other issues and became a spiritual supporter in the aftermath of Clinton\u2019s affair with Monica Lewinsky and subsequent impeachment. In 2000, Clinton awarded Jackson the Presidential Medal of Freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In theory, Jackson should have had a smoother relationship with the next Democratic president, Barack Obama. The two shared a hometown in Chicago and ran in the same circles of politically influential Black leaders. Jackson\u2019s eldest daughter was even the maid of honor at Barack and Michelle Obama\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson endorsed Obama\u2019s presidential run in 2008, though his wife supported then-New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. But Jackson\u2019s friends told reporters that the elder man clearly believed Obama did not pay him sufficient deference or credit the ways his campaigns for president had paved the way for Obama\u2019s successful run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tensions spilled out into the open in July 2008, when a hot mic on Fox News caught Jackson saying he wanted to \u201ccut [Obama\u2019s] nuts off \u2026 for talking down to Black people\u201d after Obama delivered a speech chastising absent Black fathers. Jackson quickly apologized for his comments, but he never joined Obama\u2019s inner circle the way he did with Clinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson married Jacqueline Brown in 1962, while the pair were still students at North Carolina A&T. Brown valued her privacy and was a low-profile political spouse, once warning reporters not to expose any affair her husband had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf my husband has committed adultery, you better not tell me, and you better not go digging into it,\u201d she told reporters in 1987. \u201cI\u2019m trying to raise a family and won\u2019t let you destroy it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson fathered a child in an extramarital affair with a Rainbow Coalition\/PUSH employee in 1999, with the affair becoming public in 2001. The press duly covered the revelations, which led CNN to cancel \u201cBoth Sides.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson and Jacqueline had five children: Sanita, Jesse Jr., Jonathan, Yusef and Jacqueline. Jesse Jr. served 17 years in Congress representing Illinois before resigning amid a federal corruption investigation. He eventually pleaded guilty to mail fraud and served 30 months in prison. Jonathan Jackson won a seat in Congress, also representing Illinois, in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time society renewed its focus on social and racial justice in the mid-2010s, Jackson had already ascended to statesman status, and a Parkinson\u2019s diagnosis \u2014 later revealed to be the aforementioned palsy \u2014 became public in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson did not stop his activism, however. He led a protest march in Ferguson, Missouri, following the police shooting of Michael Brown. He traveled to Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd to press the district attorney there to charge the officers involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He finally stepped down from the leadership of Rainbow\/PUSH in 2023, though he continued to speak out on significant issues. He condemned Israel\u2019s response to the Oct. 7 attacks that year, calling the war in Gaza a \u201cmassacre\u201d and encouraging student protesters across the United States. And before the 2024 election, he warned that President Donald Trump \u201cwants to pull us back into white supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
