US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has died at age 84, his family said in a statement.
An eloquent Baptist minister raised in the segregated South, Jackson became a close associate of Martin Luther King Jr and twice ran for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“Our father was a servant leader – not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement.
