Jackson to campaign
ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Rev. Jesse Jackson has
agreed-to campaign for Democratic Presidential_
candidate Walter Mondale in the South, while 50
black leaders within the party gave Mondale a
unanimous vote of support following a two-hour
meeting here last Wednesday.
"We shall campaign throughout this nation with
great fervor between now and . election day,"
Jackson said, adding he would try to get commitments
from Mondale to specific plans on issues
concerning blacks.
Mondale declined to support a specific
muitiouiion dollar employment program, citing a
previous pledge to reduce the federal deficit.
But the presidential nominee,/^d. ,a^ree to other
requests, including channeling millions of dollars
from the Democratic Party to black groups for
voter registration drives. Mondale also announced

the Liberian Community Association.
But Marcus M. Kofa, Minister Counselor at the

unrest, although three persons were wounded by
stray bullets and 72 others had been injured while
fleeing from the campus.
Lawrence Santi, president of the association and
a former Liberian government official, said the
casualty figures were based on telephone calls from

The civil rights organization also:
opposed U.S. involvement in Central America
and further military escalation in the region;
called for the President of the United States to try
to secure the release of South African "freedom
fighter" Nelson Mandela from a South African
prison. It also called for revocation of a "banning
order" against Mandela's wife, Winnie. The
Speaker of the House of Representatives also was
requested to transmit a copy of the SCLC resolution

_ Maynard Jackson as a senior black policy aid.
Jackson was a strong supporter of Rev. Jackson in
the primaries.
The Democrats hope to register two million more
black voters nationwide in the next month to bring
the total number to 14 million.
Ernest Green, a former Jackson aide who recently
joined the Mondale staff, said he thought last
week's meeting was something of a watershed for
blacks. "From the outside it appears so tortuous a
process because a new relationship is being worked
out between black and white candidates. The
meeting was significant in that a Presidential candidate
didn't come there, give a cardboard speech
and pat people on the head. He stated and argued
his point of view, and in some cases, they argued
back. It represents a maturity of the political process."

"afraid to be identified" because of a new decree
under which people can be detained without trial.
Santi said the Liberian Community Association is
non-political and represents 1,500 students and
workers. Although it had once supported the
government of General Samuel K. Doe, Santi said
the association now considers his government a dictatorship.
Liberian organizations were planning protests in
New York and Washington this week and planned
to send a letter to President Reagan urging him to
"reconsider U.S. support" for the government,
Santi said.

supported the SCLC's Virginia unit in its efforts
to reinstate a black female to her job at the
Meridith-Burda Company in Lynchburg. The
