The day Jesse Jackson visited Sheffield
Tributes have been paid to the American civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who's died at the age of eighty four.
He marched with Martin Luther King in the 1960s - and ran for president twice in the 1980s.
He also visited Sheffield in August 2007 thanks to Janice Young, who shared with Paulette Edwards how she managed to persuade him to visit the city.
