The Jackson and Rainbow PUSH Coalition family have been deeply movedby the outpouring of support for our family. We have heard from people around the world whose lives were touched by Reverend Jackson’s tireless efforts to expand opportunity, build coalitions, and advance a more just, peaceful, and hopeful world. To all who have offered their prayers andcondolences, we thank you. The stories you have shared, along with your generous and thoughtful messages, have brought us much-needed comfort and affirmation.
Since announcing the details of Reverend Jackson’s Homegoing service yesterday, we have also heard from leaders in South Carolina and Washington, D.C., two places of profound significance to him. They have extended the extraordinary honor of allowing him to be celebrated in formal services in his native state of South Carolina and formal services in the nation’s capital—Washington, D.C. These viewings will be followed by official services in his beloved home, thecity of Chicago on March 6 and 7.
In light of these significant developments, the family has adjusted the dates for his Celebration ofLife services. The outpouring of love and support received from around the globe has been abundant and deeply felt.
Our thanks for your understanding, support, and prayers.
