Vice President Kamala Harris was in attendance for the event announcing Reverend Jesse Jackson's successor at Rainbow PUSH.
Jackson is transitioning to emeritus status, an organization spokesperson said. He addressed attendees Saturday, saying he is neither resigning nor retiring, but making room for new leaders.Jackson, whose work has taken him from Chicago and around the world, has led the civil rights organization for more than 50 years.
The transition of leadership event kicked off at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Apostolic Church of God at 63rd and Dorchester in Woodlawn. Rev. Haynes has served as the senior pastor of Friendship West Baptist Church in Dallas for the past 40 years. Throughout our decades of friendship and partnership, I've seen how Reverend Jackson has helped lead our nation forward through tumult and triumph. Whether on the campaign trail, on the march for equality, or in the room advocating for what is right and just, I've seen him as history will remember him: a man of God and of the people; determined, strategic, and unafraid of the work to redeem the soul of our nation.
