Faith In Motion: The Legacy of Reverend Jessy Jackson.
The passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson marks the closing of a powerful chapter in the American story — a chapter written in courage, conviction, and relentless faith.
He stood in places where standing was dangerous.
He spoke when silence was safer.
He marched when fear told others to stay home.
Rev. Jackson did not simply preach hope — he practiced it. From the civil rights movement to economic justice, he reminded generations that dignity is not granted by systems but affirmed by God. His life echoed the belief that every person carries divine worth, regardless of race, class, or background.
He taught us that faith must move — into streets, into policies, into compassion, and into action. Not a faith of comfort, but a faith of responsibility.
Today we honor not only a leader, but a witness:
a witness that prayer and protest can walk together,
that conviction can outlast opposition,
and that the arc of justice bends only when hands are willing to pull it.
May we not only remember him —
may we continue the work.
Rest in peace to a servant who spent his life reminding the world that equality is not a political idea… it is a moral truth.
