Rev. Jesse Jackson honored in South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C. (NBC, KYMA) - The late Rev. Jesse Jackson's casket arrived at the South Carolina State Capitol in Columbia Monday morning.

Rev. Jackson, who was born in segregated Greenville, South Carolina in 1941, will lie in state at the Capitol.

Following a private memorial service, the public will then be allowed to file past the casket as mourners remember and honor the civil rights icon.

Jackson, who ran for president in both 1984 and 1988, is only the second black man to lie in state at the South Carolina capitol.

Later in the day, Jackson's remains returned to Chicago for additional planned memorial services.

An event had been planned for Washington, D.C. after South Carolina, but that has since been postponed.
