LOS ANGELES, CA A Cali- fornia contingent of leaders will attend the funeral services for Reverend Jesse L. Jackson on Wednesday, February 25, to pay their final respects to the late civil rights leader. The delegation is led by Reverend Jackson's longtime associate, Reverend Chuck Sin- gleton, senior pastor of Loveland Church and president of the Ka- leidoscope Global Network.

"Rev Jackson's vision was from eternity forward," says Rev. Sin- gleton. “His disappointments with injustice didn't dampen his spirit. He knows that God will balance the scales. The lion lies down, but his echo still roars across the mountains," said Rev. Singleton.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson, a towering figure in the fight for civil rights and a two-time presi- dential candidate, passed away on February 17 at the age of 84.

His work will be celebrated through several days of ceremo- nies in Chicago, culminating in the Homegoing Service on Sat- urday, February 28, at 2:00 PM at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Headquarters.
