US EditionJesse Jackson Jr. rebukes Obama, Clinton, and Biden for not truly knowing his father during memorial service
Jesse Jackson Jr. criticized former Democratic presidents for failing to capture his father's prophetic, nonpartisan message for the disinherited, saying they did not know the real Jesse Jackson.
- Jesse Jackson Jr. rebuked former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden at his father's memorial at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters on Saturday.
- Family and organizers concluded national commemorations with a private Saturday memorial after Jackson lay in honor Monday at the South Carolina capitol, where mourners filled city blocks.
- Friday's public homegoing featured prominent political figures including former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, musical tributes, and nearly 100 Minnesota activists.
- The rebuke has political resonance given Jesse Jackson Jr.'s bid to regain his former congressional seat; he said his father's work demanded 'not Democratic or Republican solutions' at Saturday's service.
- The week's services position activists and family to carry Jackson's agenda forward into new actions as mentees and family will travel to Selma, Alabama, on Sunday to commemorate the Bloody Sunday marches at the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
