 Rev. Jesse Jackson to lie in honor in South Carolina 

Civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson will lie in state Monday at the South Carolina state capitol in Columbia.

His body will be placed in the Capitol Rotunda, with a private service at 10 a.m. and a public service at 10:30 a.m. EST. The events will feature remarks from local, state, and federal officials, performances by the Allen University and Benedict College choirs, and a wreath-laying ceremony. A separate service will take place at 6 p.m. at Brookland Baptist Church in West Columbia, S.C.

Jackson’s widow, Jacqueline Jackson, 81, will not attend the South Carolina ceremonies due to illness, her son, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., said. She is in Nashville and plans to join the family in Chicago as soon as possible. A public service in Chicago is scheduled for 11 a.m. CST Friday at the House of Hope.

A service in Washington, D.C., has been postponed, according to Jackson’s representatives. “The Jackson Family looks forward to honoring Rev. Jackson’s work and life in Washington, a city that held rich friendships and deep meaning for the Reverend,” the family said in a Sunday statement.

Jackson, a Baptist minister and two-time presidential candidate, died Feb. 16 at 84 from complications of supranuclear palsy, a rare neurodegenerative brain disease. He was born in Greenville, S.C.
