Jackson threatens Augusta boycott over men only policy
Rev Jesse Jackson said he would organize a formal protest and economic boycott if Augusta National Golf Club does not admit a woman member before the Masters. He urged the board to open membership, comparing the matter to historic civil rights progress and criticizing coverage of Tiger Woods. He also condemned Bush policy toward Iraq and warned of costs and broader social impact.
