Services for Jesse Jackson in Chicago to include 3 former US presidents

Three former Democratic presidents are set to speak at a Chicago church as mourners pay a final public tribute to the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden are to join thousands of people Friday during a celebration of life for the civil rights leader. The event honors the protege of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and two-time presidential candidate. It follows memorial services that drew large crowds in Chicago and South Carolina, where Jackson was born. Friday’s celebration is expected to be the largest. Former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris also is listed as a speaker on the program.
