The former college quarterback and student body president visited Greensboro last Wednesday to attend a board of trustees meeting at his alma mater, North Carolina A&T State University. He returned Monday to enroll his two sons in school at A&T. Jackson has established a new agenda, he said in conversations with the Chronicle on both occasions, and he plans to divert all of his energies to it. "You have been quoted as saying that the Democratic National Convention was a flop for black people. Every other group ? women, Hispanics, Southerners - got something from the convention, critics say, but black people didn't. Now that the convention is over, do you still feeI that the convention was a flop for black voters?" "1 wouldn't say that.
