RESOLUTION

Memorializing Rev. Jesse Jackson by flying the flag of the United 
States at halfstaff.

Whereas Jesse Louis Burns was born on October 8, 1941, in Greenville, South 
Carolina, during the era of Jim Crow;
Whereas Reverend Jackson rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most 
consequential civil rights leaders of all time;
Whereas, after meeting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverend Jackson became the 
youngest staff member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference 
and led the Chicago chapter of Operation Breadbasket, advancing economic 
empowerment;
Whereas, following Dr. King's assassination, Reverend Jackson founded Operation 
PUSH and later the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, strengthening political 
mobilization and challenging discriminatory corporate practices; and
Whereas Reverend Jackson's Presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 broke racial 
barriers and energized millions: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges the President to 
issue a proclamation to lower the flags to halfstaff to honor the 
memory of Rev. Jesse Jackson.
