Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon who dedicated his life to fighting racial inequality and ran two historic campaigns for the U.S. presidency, died Tuesday at age 84.

Overview: Jackson leaves behind a broad legacy — from marching alongside Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to founding the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

Closer look: although he was raised in the South, Jackson built strong ties to San Francisco, frequently visiting the city to organize community efforts, support labor movements and racial justice campaigns, and influence political activism across the Bay Area.

He is remembered as one of the most influential civil rights leaders in American history and left a decades-long imprint on San Francisco’s political and social movements. Below are some of those moments over the years:

May 31, 1984: Jackson met with voters in the Hunters Point neighborhood during a campaign stop in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, which he narrowly lost to Walter Mondale.

Oct. 16, 1988: During his second presidential run, Jackson greeted then-politician Willie Brown with a low five at a get-out-the-vote rally in the city.

Oct. 2, 2003: Jackson spoke to students at San Francisco State University urging a “no” vote on the recall of Gov. Gray Davis and a “no” vote on Proposition 54, which would have prohibited the collection of racial and ethnic data in public sectors, including education.

Sept. 18, 2009: He led a demonstration in front of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco protesting home foreclosures after the subprime mortgage crisis threatened millions of homeowners with losing their properties.

June 13, 2022: A lifelong basketball fan, Jackson met with Golden State Warriors players — including Jordan Poole — before Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics at Chase Center.
