                       Friday, September 11, 2015

  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I was deeply saddened to 
learn of the passing of Mrs. Helen Burns Jackson, the mother of 
Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson. Rev. Jackson often spoke of his love, his 
appreciation and close relationship with his mother and my heart goes 
out to him and the entire Jackson and Burns families. Of course, Mrs. 
Jackson was, on her part, justly proud of her sons. In her family and 
her life she leaves a mighty legacy for all of America. The entire 
Jackson and Burns families are in my prayers in this time of 
bereavement.
