Request denied for Rev. Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at Capitol

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office has denied a request to have the late Rev. Jesse Jackson lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda due to precedents that such honors are usually only designated for presidents. Johnson’s office said it received a request from the family to have Jackson’s remains lie in honor at the Capitol. The Jackson family has announced scheduled dates for memorial services.
