CAMPAIGN ’88 : Jackson, Kirk Confer
- Share via
Jackson met briefly Wednesday in Chicago with Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul G. Kirk Jr. to discuss campaigning for the party’s presidential and local candidates, but details of their talk were not disclosed.
Jackson spokesman Eric Easter confirmed that the meeting took place and said one topic was continuation of Jackson’s Secret Service guards even though he is no longer a candidate for President. (He remains under protection while the request is considered.)
Among Jackson’s scheduled campaign appearances are the AME Zion church conference in Charlotte, N. C., on Monday, and the Urban League in Detroit next Wednesday.
