Memorializing Rev. Jesse Jackson by flying the flag of the United States at halfstaff.

Key Points

• This resolution asks the President to lower U.S. flags to half-staff to show respect for Reverend Jesse Jackson. This is a formal way the government honors people who have made a big difference in American history.
• The proposal highlights Jackson's long career as a civil rights leader, including his work with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his two runs for president. It recognizes his efforts to help people get jobs and fight for fair treatment in business and politics.
• This action is ceremonial and does not change any laws or spend any tax money. It serves as a public tribute to Jackson's life and his role in breaking racial barriers in the United States.
