Statement by Governor Mikie Sherrill on the Passing of Jesse Jackson |
| "Rest in peace, Rev. Jesse Jackson. A giant of the Civil Rights Movement, his tireless fight for justice and equality transformed our nation and inspired millions. In middle school, I had the honor of seeing Rev. Jackson during his first run for president – a memory that has stuck with me throughout the years. His vision of a ‘rainbow coalition’ reminded us that, despite our perceived differences, we are strongest when we unite together to fight for our shared aspirations. Let's honor Rev. Jackson's life of service by carrying forward the hope, unity, and justice he believed in." |
