Ramaphosa asistirá a la ceremonia de homegoing del reverendo Jesse Jackson en Chicago

El presidente Cyril Ramaphosa viajará a Chicago para pronunciar un discurso en la celebración de la vida por el difunto reverendo Jesse Jackson el sábado. El evento sigue a una ceremonia pública el viernes a la que asistieron destacadas figuras de EE.UU. La participación de Ramaphosa responde a una petición de la familia Jackson.

El presidente Cyril Ramaphosa partirá de Sudáfrica la noche del jueves rumbo a Chicago, donde asistirá a la «Celebración de la Vida y Despedida al Hogar por el Reverendo Jesse Jackson» el sábado. Ha sido invitado por la familia Jackson a pronunciar unas palabras en el evento.  El sábado en Chicago culmina una serie de homenajes a Jackson, quien falleció el mes pasado a los 84 años tras luchar contra un trastorno neurológico que afectó su habla y movilidad, además de un diagnóstico de Parkinson a largo plazo. Le precede una ceremonia pública de despedida el viernes en la House of Hope, una arena con capacidad para 10.000 personas en la ciudad. Se espera que ese evento atraiga a destacados miembros del Partido Demócrata, incluidos antiguas primeras familias: los Biden, los Obama y los Clinton.  Las actuaciones en la ceremonia del viernes contarán con la cantante y actriz Jennifer Hudson, así como los artistas de gospel Pastor Marvin Winans y Bebe Winans. Se esperan intervenciones del gobernador de Illinois J.B. Pritzker y del alcalde de Chicago Brandon Johnson.  Ramaphosa ha descrito previamente a Jackson como una autoridad moral global comprometida con la justicia como una búsqueda humana sin fronteras. Los dos líderes compartieron un momento en 2018 durante el evento Gandhi Walk.  El fallecimiento de Jackson ha provocado tributos en todo el mundo, destacando su defensa de por vida de la igualdad y los derechos civiles.
