The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights leader and two-time presidential candidate, has been hospitalized for a long-term neurodegenerative condition, according to the organization he founded.
Jackson, 84, “was admitted to the hospital today and is currently under observation for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP),” the Rainbow PUSH Coalition said in a statement late Wednesday, adding that he had been managing the condition for more than a decade.
