There are figures whose lives cannot be measured in years,
but in the tremors they leave behind. Jesse Louis Jackson was one of them. His
death at 84 does not silence his voice; it simply reminds us how deeply it had
already entered the bloodstream of American history.
Jackson was not a man who waited for justice to arrive; he
chased it, confronted it, demanded it, and carried millions with him along the
way. He rose from the segregated South with a clarity of purpose that never
dimmed.
