and said, in a recent pre con­
ference held at a Georgetown
Hotel, for the fir time in hi
tory 'rainbow Politics" would

De pite Democratic pin and

Spring of 1986 when he gave
birth to a bro d based- political
action arm, the tiona! Rain­
bow Coalition.
"The ne mix of voters in
the South will make the South
provin ground for economic
justice in 1988," J c son said.
''When candidates come South
in 1988, they will find Gover-
nors anding in school hou
door' lriste_ad they will find
plants closing on orker with­
out notice, toxic wa e dumps,
people with little education
and health care, worker forced
to accept wage concession and
high unemployment - i sue
that affect more white than
Black and i es that cut
cro line of race, x and
national orgin."
Though, J ckson, did not
publieally indicate his intention
for the 1988 election, a
national rvey conducted by
the Joint Center for Political
Studies and Gallup owed that
.among the whites and African­
Americans polled, J c son'

90 percent of whites.
The poll al indicated J c -

1984. Sixty-nine percent of
the African-American popula­
tion urveyed ant J ckson to
run in 1988, 22 percent of
hites concur and 63 percent
of African-American and 6
percent of whites actually want
him to win the D mocratic
pre idential nomination.
According to other data from
the JCPS, ... Jac on' appeal to
the lower income and le edu­
cated h d increa d and his
popularity in the Southern
region h made him a politi­
cal force to be t en riously.
