CHICAGO (WLS) -- The life of Rev. Jesse Jackson was celebrated.
Chicago and the nation said goodbye to Rev. Jesse Jackson on Friday and Saturday.
Services were held in Chicago and South Carolina.
Plans in Washington, D.C. were postponed.
The final service for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson was one of love, laughter, tears and inspiration.
Saturday's events were the culmination of days of homegoing services for the reverend who died Feb. 17.
A procession to the cemetery immediately followed Saturday's service, which people from all over came to.
Crowds lined up early Saturday morning to get into Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters.
Rev. Jackson is scheduled to lie in repose Thursday and Friday at Rainbow PUSH HQ on Chicago's South Side to mark the start of his celebration of life.
Rainbow PUSH is located at 930 E. 50th St. in Kenwood.
The hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The CTA said in a message on social media it will be broadcasting a tribute to Rev. Jackson for several weeks on hundreds of digital screens across the system.
"It is fitting to drape our system -- which, at its core, is rooted in fair access and opportunity for all -- in the image and messaging of the man who we were so lucky to have as our own in this great city," the message said.
The Jackson family and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition released a schedule of services that includes Chicago and South Carolina.
