The article focuses on the life and legacy of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, who passed away on February 17 at the age of 84.

He founded the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and was a prominent advocate for voting rights, running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988. Jackson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2000, recognized for his significant contributions to the cause of justice. [Extracted from the article]
