The Rev. Jesse Jackson, America’s most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of Barack Obama, died on Tuesday.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson remembered the Rev. Jesse Jackson​ Wednesday as an indefatigable organizer and fighter for justice and a mentor to him personally.

Divided by competing personal ambitions and ethnic caucuses once again, the Chicago City Council failed Wednesday to find its next Zoning Committee chair.

Major Brandon Johnson joined Audrina Sinclair and Dana Kozlov on CBS News Chicago to reflect on the life of Rev. Jesse Jackson.

The City Council on Wednesday failed to override Mayor Brandon Johnson's veto​ of an ordinance that would have banned the sale of most intoxicating hemp-derived products in Chicago.

Johnson says he is committed to pushing the city ahead in Jackson's memory.
