Nov. 13 (UPI) -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson has been hospitalized in Chicago for a neurodegenerative condition, the civil rights organization he founded, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition announced.
The non-profit said Jackson, 84, was admitted to the hospital Wednesday to be observed for his condition, progressive supranuclear palsy.
The statement said he had been managing the condition for more than a decade, though it was initially diagnosed as Parkinson's disease. In April, doctors confirmed he was actually dealing with PSP.
No further details about his condition were revealed.
"The family appreciates all prayers at this time," the Rainbow Push Coalition said Wednesday.
