 #  In Memory of Rev. Jesse Jackson 

 

   

   ![Jesse Jackson headshot](/sites/default/files/styles/380x361/public/images/Jesse_Jackson.jpg?itok=B01A3zgo)  The Parkinson’s Foundation is saddened to learn that civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson has passed away. We send our sincerest condolences to his family. Jackson lived with progressive supranuclear palsy, a neurological condition similar to Parkinson’s disease, for many years.

The Parkinson’s Foundation is committed to improving care and advancing research toward a cure. If you or a loved one are struggling with a diagnosis, you are not alone. Learn more about how we can help at [Parkinson.org](/node/79 "Homepage") or call our free Helpline at 1-800-4PD-INFO.
