The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a longtime civil-rights activist and Democratic political leader, has died. He was 84.

A gifted public speaker, Jackson was known for fiery rhetoric, often advocating for the interests of working people, especially minorities. In one of his most famous speeches, delivered at the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta in 1988, he urged different American groups—Black and white people, liberals and conservatives—to seek common ground.

“Progress will not come through boundless liberalism nor static conservatism,” he said, “but at the critical mass of mutual survival…It takes two wings to fly.”

Jackson, whose death was confirmed by a family spokeswoman, sought the 1984 Democratic nomination for president, becoming the first Black man to wage a nationwide campaign for a major party’s endorsement. He returned to the trail again in 1988, and scored a big win in Michigan, a victory that briefly catapulted him into front-runner status.
