A Dallas pastor who recently took over leadership of the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s civil rights organization has resigned after less than three months in the position. The Rev. Frederick Haynes III confirmed his resignation as president and CEO of the Chicago-based Rainbow PUSH Coalition, citing the decision as a result of prayer and consultation.
Haynes, 63, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to succeed Rev. Jackson and lead the organization that he founded over 50 years ago. While he did not provide specific details on the challenges prompting his resignation, he emphasized the need to move on.
