Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. Lies in State in South Carolina in Final Honors After Lifelong Civil Rights Legacy

Rev. Jesse Jackson lies in state at South Carolina Capitol after U.S. Capitol denied request; he is the second Black man to receive this honor in the state.

  • On March 2, Rev. Jesse Jackson will lie in state at the South Carolina State House Rotunda in Columbia as Gov. Henry McMaster orders flags lowered to half-staff.
  • After Speaker Mike Johnson denied the Capitol honor, South Carolina officials and supporters secured approval for a state-level tribute, which supporters described as a collaborative effort.
  • Ceremonies in Columbia will follow this schedule: a private 10 a.m. service, a public 10:30 a.m. ceremony, and public viewing from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., while Jacqueline Jackson fell ill and will not join the family.
