JACKSON TO ADDRESS NORFOLK STATE GRADS

The Rev. Jesse Jackson will be the commencement speaker May 18 at Norfolk State University.

Jackson, who sought the presidency in 1984 and 1988, waived his usual speaker's fee because his mother-in-law will be receiving a degree at the occasion, President Harrison B. Wilson told the Board of Visitors on Tuesday.

Jackson's mother-in-law, Gertrude Brown of Newport News, will receive a master's degree in clinical social work.
