With heavy hearts, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. New Haven Metropolitan Chapter honors the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr.
A civil rights giant, servant leader, and unwavering advocate for justice, Reverend Jackson dedicated his life to expanding opportunity, demanding equity, and reminding this nation that justice requires courage and action. His voice and vision helped move America closer to its promise.
He believed deeply in the power of community and in the leadership of Black women. His legacy challenges us to continue the work with purpose, conviction, and hope.
As we reflect, we recommit ourselves to advocacy, leadership, and service in our communities. We will carry forward his call to keep hope alive and ensure justice is not just promised, but delivered.
Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr.
