Jesse Jackson in hospital after falling and hitting head on university campus
The Guardian says The Rev Jesse Jackson was taken to hospital in Washington on Monday, after falling and hitting his head while helping Howard University students protesting living conditions on campus, a spokesman said.
The 80-year-old civil rights leader, who ran strongly for the Democratic nomination for president in 1988, was entering a campus building when he fell and hit his head, according to his spokesman, Frank Watkins.
Jackson’s staff took him to Howard University hospital for tests including a CT scan. Watkins said Jackson would be kept in overnight for observation, though test results came back normal.
