                               RESOLUTION

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

Whereas Jesse Louis Burns was born on October 8, 1941, in Greenville, South 
        Carolina, during the era of Jim Crow;
Whereas Reverend Jackson rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most 
        consequential civil rights leaders of all time;
Whereas, after meeting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverend Jackson became the 
        youngest staff member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference 
        and led the Chicago chapter of Operation Breadbasket, advancing economic 
        empowerment;
Whereas, following Dr. King's assassination, Reverend Jackson founded Operation 
        PUSH and later the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, strengthening political 
        mobilization and challenging discriminatory corporate practices; and
Whereas Reverend Jackson's Presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 broke racial 
        barriers and energized millions: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges the President to 
issue a proclamation to lower the flags to halfstaff to honor the 
memory of Rev. Jesse Jackson.
                                 <all>
Memorializing Rev. Jesse Jackson by flying the flag of the United States at halfstaff.
