The Rev. Jesse Jackson was laid to rest Saturday at Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago, following a week of services including rest at Rainbow PUSH headquarters, lying in state at the South Carolina State Capitol, a homecoming service Friday at the House of Hope megachurch that drew thousands of attendees, including former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Services for the civil rights leader, who died last month at age 84, culminated with a final private ceremony Saturday at Rainbow PUSH headquarters on Chicago’s South Side.
