JACKSON
Continued from Page 1
A federal judge denied its peti­
on, and the city pla� to appeal.
Jackson stopped in nine towns
between Bridgeport and
Hartford.
The march gained momentum
as it emerged from the upper­
class suburban town of West
Hartford on Saturday onto
Hartford' Albany Avenue,
where hundreds of mo tly Black
restdents crowded the streets to
catch a glimpse of Jackson.
As Jackson approached an in­
tersection near a middle school
where be was sc riled to speak,
he broke into a jog as onlookers
called his name and snapped pic­
tures.
About 7,000 people gathered
on the Capitols front lawn to
hear Jackson make his final
speech.
: "George Bush came to Stam­
ford and walked right past us to
o to a $300 a plate dinner," said
arvin Minkler, a.nometess man
ho walked the entire 60 miles,
he addressed the raIl y at the
apitol. "Jesse Jackson came to
tamford and held out his hand,
nd said come walk with me."
