Nov. 17 (UPI) -- The family of the Rev. Jesse Jackson said the civil rights activist was in stable condition after being hospitalized in Chicago for a rare neurological condition.
The family provided the update Sunday in response to what they described as "inaccurate media reports."
"Reverend Jackson is in stable condition and is breathing without the assistance of machines," said the statement, which was posted on the website of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the civil rights organization Jackson founded.
"Contrary to specific reports, he is not on life support."
