Remembering Rev. Jesse L. Jackson

Apostle TonyaFebruary 17, 2026February 17, 2026Notes From Apostle TonyaAlmighty God, Christianity, civil rights, civil rights pioneer, Dr. Martin L. King Jr and Jesse Jackson, Holy Spirit, honor, Jesse Jackson, Jesus Christ, Rev. Jesse Jackson passing

Surely, I was most saddened to hearest of the earthly departure of the beloved Reverend Jesse L. Jackson.

Might I say, in this season, I purposed in my heart to write a letter to Rev. Jackson. Yet, the conclusion of the letter was not finished.

Further, last evening, in preparing to rest, I spake to thy Lord rather unusually in speaking a word of “hope” in the midst of a passing. I shall say it was spake similar to the blessed tone of “Keep Hope Alive” from Reverend Jackson’s infamous speech he delivered in 1988.

And so, today in tears, I remembereth quietly the civil rights pioneer for a life I most admired: powerful, courageous and well-lived.

I offer my condolences to the Jackson family and also to Rev. Al Sharpton.

How we shall surely miss you, Reverend Jackson!
