Reverend Jesse Jackson, a prominent civil rights leader, has been hospitalised, as confirmed by his family. The Rainbow PUSH Coalition, which Jackson founded, released a statement regarding his health condition.

The organisation revealed that Jackson has been managing a neurodegenerative condition for over a decade. Initially diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he received a confirmation of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) last April. The family has expressed gratitude for the public's prayers during this challenging time.

In 2018, Jackson spoke openly about his battle with Parkinson's disease, describing how it impacts his daily life. He stated, "The condition affects movement, your feet. Putting on a shirt may be difficult sometimes. I try, I fight for my independence. And you have to pick up your legs as you may fall. But you must remain active, and boxing is recommended."

Jackson shared his commitment to staying active, mentioning his boxing routine. "I went down to LA and boxed for two or three days, and I was doing it regularly until two weeks ago. I will start again. I will keep going," he said.

As Jackson continues to face these health challenges, his family and supporters remain hopeful for his recovery.
