The Rev. Jesse Jackson’s lawyers and a home video entrepreneur reached an out-of-court settlement Tuesday in Jackson’s suit against MPI Home Video over the rights to his rousing address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. “An agreement in principle has been reached,” said Henry Mason III, Jackson’s lawyer. He declined to disclose specific terms of the agreement, which was to be completed in 10 days. MPI had begun selling a videotape of Jackson’s address to the convention for $14.95 under the title, “Jesse Jackson: We Can Dream Again.” But Jackson got a temporary restraining order July 29 to halt distribution of the tape.
