As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
In 1972, Rev. Jesse Jackson looked into the eyes of young children on Sesame Street and affirmed what too many children weren’t hearing anywhere else: “I am somebody.” That wasn’t just a line, it was an affirmation. A declaration of dignity. That truth still matters today and is part of the great legacy that Rev. Jesse Jackson will leave behind.

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.
