Jesse Jackson Jr. is Born

The eldest son of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Jacqueline Lavinia Brown, Jesse Jackson Jr. was born in Greenville, S.C., while his father was on the march to Selma. His childhood was spent among civil rights giants and the younger Jackson started his own civil rights career early, delivering a speech as a five-year-old on a milk crate in the Chicago offices of his father’s Rainbow PUSH coalition.
