This is The Guardian.
Today, remembering Jesse Jackson.
All this week, the life of the Reverend Jesse Jackson,
who has died at the age of 84, has been celebrated and commemorated.
He was many different things.
Civil rights leader.
And put a voter registration card in that other hand, symbolizing power and responsibility.
Hostage negotiator.
Whenever hostages are released, it's always an expression of some hope.
Presidential candidate.
My decision.
to seek the nomination of the Democratic Party for the presidency of the United States of America.
But there are things that everyone who met him remembers.
He was this six foot three, 225 pound guy who basically commanded an audience.
I just remember him.
appearing larger than life in terms of presence.
Big in frame and he was big in stature.
He was tireless.
We put him to bed at 1.30 in the morning and he got up at 6.30.
