Warm welcome for Mrs. Jackson
Jackie Comes Home

Jesse Jackson, hailing her courageous stand for her own dignity and her refusal to �pay for my own handcuffs� during her 10-day incarceration in a U.S. federal prison in Puerto Rico.   Hundreds of well-wishers, including members of Congress, gathered June 30 at Rainbow/PUSH headquarters here to welcome Mrs. Jackson, who was arrested on June 18 on the Puerto Rican Island of Vieques for trespassing in an area that the U.S. Navy uses for bombing practice.

Who is Black?
A Puerto Rican woman claims her place in the African Diaspora
