We initially considered a memorial designation on the Dan Ryan, but Rev. Jesse Jackson’s legacy calls for something more permanent. I filed HJR 58 to name the Cook County stretch of I-57 the Rev Jesse L. Jackson Sr. Expressway—joining the ranks of our region’s named expressways.

In 1972, Rev. Jesse Jackson looked into the eyes of young children on Sesame Street and affirmed what too many children weren’t hearing anywhere else: “I am somebody.” That wasn’t just a line, it was an affirmation. A declaration of dignity. That truth still matters today and is part of the great legacy that Rev. Jesse Jackson will leave behind. 🎥: Inequality Media

On Friday we honored the life and witness of Jesse Jackson Sr. a freedom fighter who reminded America that justice is what love looks like in public! He stood in the great prophetic tradition—telling the truth, lifting up the poor, and insisting that every child of God has dignity! His voice carried the cry of the marginalized and the hope of a more compassionate democracy! As we reflect today, may we remember that his legacy is not just in history but in the ongoing struggle for spiritual integrity, moral courage, and a love powerful enough to challenge injustice! We love you forever Rev Jesse Jackson Sr! #TruthJusticeLove

🚨 Jesse Jackson’s OWN SON just EXPOSED the disrespect at his father’s memorial. After sitting through hours of speeches from Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson Jr. didn't hold back: “I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson.” He made it crystal clear—his father kept a tense relationship with the political establishment precisely because he refused to bow to either party. Rev. Jackson fought for the poor, the forgotten, and the dispossessed—not for Democrats, not for Republicans, but for justice. Yet these presidents turned a sacred memorial into a political platform, pushing agendas instead of honoring the man. When a son has to publicly call out that the speakers didn't even know his father... that's not just tone-deaf. It's disgraceful. A funeral isn't your campaign rally. A legacy isn't your talking points. Rest in power, Rev. Jackson. Your son spoke the truth they didn't want heard. ✊🏾 #JesseJackson #MemorialDisrespect #PoliticalHijack 🤦‍♂️
