Jesse Jackson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in August 2000, the nation's highest civilian honor.   "The truth is, America has followed Rev. Jackson, as he marched with Dr. King, walked the picket lines, ran for our nation's highest office, instilling hope and inspiring millions, beginning with his own remarkable family," President Clinton said.   President Clinton highlighted Rev. Jackson's years of leadership in the civil rights movement, his work expanding opportunities for underserved communities, and his founding of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.   "Dr. King said, 'Human progress never rolls on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts of those willing to be coworkers with God.' The cause of justice has no greater coworker than Jesse Jackson," President Clinton said. "It's hard to imagine how we could have come as far as we have without the creative power, the keen intellect, the loving heart, and the relentless passion of Jesse Louis Jackson."
