Description:

Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson died Tuesday at the age of 84.


Over his decades long career in activism and politics, Jackson advocated for disenfranchised communities across a range of issues, building an inclusive "rainbow coalition" in the process.


On Midday Edition Tuesday, we take a look back at Jackson's memorable visit to the San Diego-Tijuana border in the summer of 1984, and how issues he highlighted decades ago remain relevant in 2026.
