Hey from CNN, I'm AfomaDK, with the five things you need to know for Friday, March 6th.

We start with the final public tribute to Reverend Jesse Jackson.

The towering civil rights leader who reshaped the Democratic Party in America died last month at 84 years old.

Many prominent people eulogized to him at a celebration of life ceremony, from

faith leaders to former presidents.

And it was because of that path that he had laid, because of his courage, his audacity, that

two decades later, a young black senator from Chicago Southside would even be

taken seriously as a candidate for the presidential nomination.

That's former President Barack Obama, praising Jackson's presidential campaign for changing the rules for how Democrats

selected their presidents, eliminating the winner-take-all system.

Former presidents Bill Clinton and Joe Biden also honored Jackson's life and legacy.
