"His life is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what it means to be an American," said Jesse Jackson Jr., son of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, during a news conference from Chicago with his brothers and sisters honoring the life and legacy of their father, a day after his death at age 84. Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) spoke on his father's life and fight for civil rights, saying, "Let's not measure the man by where he ended, but think about where he had to start."
