RESOLUTION

Memorializing Rev. Jesse Jackson by flying the flag of the United States at halfstaff.

Whereas Jesse Louis Burns was born on October 8, 1941, in Greenville, South Carolina, during the era of Jim Crow; Whereas Reverend Jackson rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most consequential civil rights leaders of all time; Whereas, after meeting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverend Jackson became the youngest staff member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and led the Chicago chapter of Operation Breadbasket, advancing economic empowerment; Whereas, following Dr. King’s assassination, Reverend Jackson founded Operation PUSH and later the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, strengthening political mobilization and challenging discriminatory corporate practices; and Whereas Reverend Jackson’s Presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 broke racial barriers and energized millions: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges the President to issue a proclamation to lower the flags to halfstaff to honor the memory of Rev. Jesse Jackson. <all>
