Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus February 17, 2026 | 11:13 AM
HARRISBURG, Feb. 17 – The Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus issued the following statement on the death of the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
“A giant has transitioned, but his legacy will never leave us. Rev. Jackson taught us that faith without action is incomplete, that justice is worth the fight, and that ordinary people can create extraordinary change.
“Because of his courage, generations have more room to dream, lead, and demand dignity. May we honor him by continuing his life’s work, lifting our communities, speaking truth, and never letting hope go silent.”
Jackson, who died on Tuesday, was a long-time civil rights leader, a protégé of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and a two-time presidential candidate.
