Rev Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader and presidential candidate, dies at 84

On this day in 1965, 26-year-old Jimmie Lee Jackson was shot while trying to protect his family during a peaceful march for voting rights. He was a deacon. A father. A man who'd tried to register to vote four times and was denied every time. His death sparked the Selma to Montgomery marches. His courage changed the course of history. Today, we remember Jimmie Lee Jackson and the price of freedom. #KeepMarching #JimmieLeeJackson #CivilRightsHero #VotingRights #OnThisDay #FootSoldiersPark | Foot S
