Published on February 22, 2026
Mayor Mike Johnston today announced Denver will lower flags through Feb. 28 in honor of Rev. Jesse Jackson, who died last week at the age of 84.
"Jesse Jackson was a titan of the Civil Rights Movement, a ferocious advocate, and a fearless trailblazer whose "Rainbow Coalition" changed our nation forever," said Mayor Mike Johnston. "By challenging the status quote he reminded us that progress is possible when we stand together. Today we stand together in honoring his incredible life and work."
