Jesse Jackson Lies in State
The late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. will be honored in South Carolina with his body lying in state at the Statehouse on March 2, following a request from state lawmakers and Jackson’s family. Jackson, who passed away at 84, will also be celebrated in Chicago and Washington, D.C. for his contributions and love for his home state. Additionally, Charleston completes a comprehensive architectural survey of the downtown peninsula, Charleston County allocates over $4 million for affordable housing projects, and residents of Sol Legare work to establish a historic district to preserve their community’s culture and landmarks.
