CAMPAIGN ’88 : Dukakis Enlists Jackson for Radio Campaign

Democratic presidential nominee Michael S. Dukakis, expanding his effort to court black voters, has signed up the Rev. Jesse Jackson for radio ads and named a prominent Jackson aide to his staff of advisers, campaign officials said Friday.

Jackson is scheduled to record the radio spots today, Dukakis campaign aide Donna Brazile said. He will join a growing list of prominent blacks who are part of a radio campaign that includes ads touting Dukakis, and others urging blacks to register to vote in the November election.

Also, Washington attorney Ronald Brown, a top political adviser to Jackson’s former presidential campaign, has agreed to join the Dukakis campaign as a national political adviser, Dukakis spokesman Leslie Dach said.
