PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA ARRIVES IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS TO DELIVER TRIBUTE TO LATE EMINENT HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGNER DR JESSE LOUIS JACKSON SR

President @CyrilRamaphosa has arrived at Chicago O' Hare International Airport in the state of Illinois in the United States of America.

President Ramaphosa will join members of the Jackson family, the PUSH Rainbow Coalition, the broader US Civil rights movement and other American and international dignitaries in paying tribute to the late Rev. Dr Jesse Louis Jackson.

The President will deliver his Tribute during the Private Homegoing Celebration (Funeral).

President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed his deep sadness at the passing of Rev. Jackson at the age of 84.

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s irrepressible campaigns against apartheid and his support for the liberation struggle was a towering contribution to the global anti-apartheid cause.

In 2013, the Rev. Jesse Jackson was awarded South Africa’s National Order of the Companions of O.R. Tambo in Silver for dedicating his life to challenge societies and governments to recognise that all people are born equal, and that everyone is in equal measure entitled to life, liberty, prosperity and human rights.

The award honoured his excellent contribution to the fight against apartheid.

His campaigns for an end to apartheid included disinvestment from the apartheid economy and challenging the support the regime enjoyed in certain circles and institutions internationally.

The Honourable Murray Sinclair dedicated his life to repairing Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples. As the Chief Commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he challenged us to confront the darkest parts of our history — because he believed we could learn from them, and be better for it.

He listened to residential school survivors, and he made sure Canada heard their stories. He advocated for the right of Indigenous students to go to school in their language and culture. And he was kind, patient, and understanding to people like me, who had a lot to learn. “Education got us into this mess,” he said. “Education will get us out.”

With his passing, Canada has lost a giant — a brilliant legal mind, a champion of Indigenous rights, and a trusted leader on our journey of Reconciliation.

My thoughts are with the Sinclair family, his friends, his colleagues, and everyone who is grieving today. We will miss him dearly.
