Fred submitted the same article, adding:
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 prot g 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.''
