...Convention in San Francisco, Jackson made his cause clear. The morning after his stunning speech of conciliation and redemption, he spoke to the Black Caucus. "Women got what they want," he said, "in Geraldine Ferraro; the South got what it wants in Bert Lance. What did you get?-you ain't got nothing!"
