Legendary civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson died Tuesday morning, three months after he was hospitalized with a rare brain disease. He was 84.

Jackson, a former presidential candidate and protégé of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., died peacefully at home in Chicago, surrounded by family, his loved ones said in a statement.

“His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights helped shape a global movement for freedom and dignity,” his family said, calling the father of six a “tireless change agent” who left “an indelible mark on history.”

“Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” they continued.

“We 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.”

Jackson’s cause of death hasn’t been revealed.

It comes after he was hospitalized in Chicago last November for progressive supranuclear palsy — a rare brain disease.

“He was originally diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease; however, last April, his PSP condition was confirmed. The family appreciates all prayers at this time,” his relatives said at the time.

Jackson, known as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s protégé, had garnered a lifetime of national acclaim for his dedication to civil rights.

He was one of the first major leaders to suggest giving reparations to descendants of black slaves.

Fellow civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton said Jackson “was not simply a civil rights leader; he was a movement unto himself.”

“He taught me that protest must have purpose, that faith must have feet, and that justice is not seasonal, it is daily work,” Sharpton wrote in a statement.

He added that Jackson taught “trying is as important as triumph. That you do not wait for the dream to come true; you work to make it real.”

Jackson, who was born on Oct. 8, 1941, in Greenville, South Carolina, set up his own civil rights organization in Chicago — Operation PUSH — in the early 1970s.

He founded the National Rainbow Coalition, whose broader civil rights mission also included women’s rights and gay rights, in 1984 before his two organizations merged in 1996.

He stepped down as the president of Rainbow-PUSH Coalition in 2023 after more than five decades of leadership and activism.

He also launched Democratic presidential bids in both 1984 and 1988 and was granted several high awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former President Bill Clinton in 2000.

In his final years, Jackson was struck down by a wave of health issues and revealed in 2017 that he had Parkinson’s disease.

In 2021, he underwent gallbladder surgery and was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19.

He also ended up in the hospital after falling and hitting his head during a visit to Howard University.

It wasn’t immediately clear when he was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy — the rare brain disease that can affect a person’s ability to walk, balance and swallow.

His family pushed back against “inaccurate media reports” last November that the activist was on a form of life support after he suffered a significant drop in blood pressure, saying he was still “in stable condition” and “breathing without the assistance of machines.”

“In fact, today he called for 2,000 churches to prepare 2,000 baskets of food to prevent malnutrition during the holiday season,” his son, Yusef, said in a statement at the time.

As he received 24-hour care in his final months, Jackson lost the ability to speak — communicating with loved ones by holding their hands and squeezing.
