Rev. Jesse Jackson hospitalized with rare brain disorder
Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson has been hospitalized.
The 84-year-old founder of the Rainbow Push Coalition is being monitored for progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare neurodegenerative disorder that impacts balance, movement and eye control.
In a statement, his organization said Jackson was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease years ago, but doctors confirmed earlier this year that his actual condition is PSP.
The coalition said he’s been managing the illness for over a decade, and remains surrounded by family in good spirits while receiving care.
