Jackson attacks Reagan at NAACP convention over racism linking to welfare
At the NAACP gathering in Denver Rev. Jesse Jackson accused President Reagan of using racism to promote his economic agenda. He compared social welfare to black faces and demanded unity among black civil rights leaders to oppose Reagan policies. In Los Angeles a 2.4 magnitude quake rattled the area with no damage reported. In Trenton six inmates hijacked a milk truck during exercise, two were recaptured, four remained at large, and a driver and guard were threatened. Brezhnev sent a Fourth of July telegram to Reagan offering peace wishes, omitting a personal greeting to the president for a second year.
