Jesse Jackson, the American civil rights activist, Baptist minister, and politician who ran for president twice, revealed on Friday, Nov. 17, that he has been treated for Parkinson’s disease for the last two years, according to media reports.
“My family and I began to notice changes about three years ago,” Jackson, 76, said in a statement. “After a battery of tests, my physicians identified the issue as Parkinson’s disease, a disease that bested my father.”
