STORYLINE:
Former President Bill Clinton eulogized Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. as a man who made him a 'better president.'
"He knew change came from the outside in and sometimes from the inside out," Clinton said. "So he knew how to keep pushing and nagging and wearing you out," he said.
Clinton joined a parade of Democratic heavyweights who lauded the work of the civil righs leader and two time presidential aspirant. Rev. Al Sharpton, the founder of the National Action Network and former Vice President Kamala Harris also remembered Jackson at Friday's memorial service.
Friday’s celebration — at an influential Black church with a 10,000-seat arena --
saw attendees waiting in long lines outside the church as television screens played excerpts of some of Jackson’s most famous speeches. Inside, vendors sold pins with his 1984 presidential slogan and hoodies with his “I Am Somebody” mantra.
Along with a slew of Illinois elected leaders, notable attendees included actor and producer Tyler Perry, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and political activist and theologian Cornel West. Detroit Pistons great and Chicago native Isiah Thomas was one of the speakers.
