Revision as of 20:35, 28 July 2021

Nannie Cox Jackson (February 26, 1865 - September 19, 1953) ​was a prominent African American educator, wealthy property owner and businesswoman in Charlottesville, Virginia.[1][2][3]

In addition to her stellar career as an educator, Jackson is notable for operating as one of the most substantial landowner in Charlottesville, Virginia and owning one of the first African American billboard companies in the United States, Jackson Advertising.[4][5]

Early Life, Family, Education

Jackson was born on February 26, 1865 in Charlottesville, Virginia.[6] She was the daughter of Elizabeth Scott (February 19, 1824 - July 15, 1916) and Elizabeth's married enslaver, Dr. William Cox (October 29, 1808 - April 15, 1875).[7] Elizabeth Scott's mother, Nancy Colbert Scott (1810–1864), was the likely daughter of Thomas Jefferson's butler, Burwell Colbert and Critta Hemings, a descendent of President Thomas Jefferson's documented involuntary mistress and enslaved African American, Sally Hemings. After President Thomas Jefferson's death in 1826, the Jefferson had substantial financial debts previously incurred by Jefferson. Jefferson’s favorite grandson and executor of his estate, Thomas Jefferson Randolph, sold Nancy Colbert Scott to Alexander Garrett, Albemarle County clerk. In 1842, Garrett sold Nancy Colbert Scott to her eventual "husband", Robert Scott, whom she had nine children.[8]

As history and involuntary chattel enslavement would have it, Elizabeth Scott was not Robert Scott's biological child. In fact, Elizabeth Scott's biological father was President Thomas Jefferson's grandson, Thomas Jefferson Randolph. According to her descendants, Elizabeth Scott was born in the Monticello.[9] Thomas Jefferson Randolph later sold his enslaved daughter to the wealthy Garrett family of Charlottesville, Virginia.[10] Though Elizabeth Scott became a "companion" to the Garretts' daughter, the Garrett patriarch, who was notorious cruel and harsh, hated and mistreated Elizabeth Scott. Despondent, Elizabeth Scott escaped from the Garretts' captivity. After the Garretts' captured her, the Garrett's patriarch transported Elizabeth Scott to a slave auction in Richmond, Virginia, selling her to Charlottesville, Virginia resident Dr. William Cox, who found Elizabeth particularly attractive.[11] Dr. Cox moved Elizabeth Scott next door to his own family in a separate home, rendering Elizabeth an involuntary mistress and mother of their offspring: Nannie Cox Jackson, James Rinaldo Cox (December 10, 1854 - March 28, 1917), Tom Cox, Charlie Cox and William Cox.[12][13][14] Dr. William Cox had six other children with his lawful wife Mary Elizabeth Lacy Cox (1808–1893), rendering these children Jackson's half-brothers and sisters: Eugene Montraville Cox (1833–1885), Lucian Napoleon Cox (1835–1862), Adelaide Panthea Cox Comer (1836–1899), Almira Josephine Cox (1840–1927), Azell Donop Cox (1842–1913), and Leroy Wesley Cox (1845–1938). According to her descendants, Dr. Cox would send children Leroy Wesley and Azell Donop to spy on his involuntary mistress' children to ensure that they were behaving.[15]

Jackson was married to William Edward Jackson (May 22, 1857 - May 29, 1922), a member of Charlottesville, Virginia's late 1800s/early 1900s' Republican Party.[16][17] W. E. Jackson stayed active with the Republican Party until 1922 when state party Republicans denied W.E. Jackson and other elected African American delegates a seat at the State Republican convention in Luray, Virginia.

in the party until at least 1922, when Charlottesville Republicans elected them as delegates to the state congressional convention. But by 1922 what remained of the Republican party in Virginia had cast its lot with white supremacy. At the state convention in Luray, the black members of the Charlottesville delegation were denied seats.[18][19] They had five children: W. E. Jackson, Charles Leland Jackson, Helen Elizabeth Jackson, Nannie Gladys Duncan, and Marion Louise Carter. The Jackson Family were considered one of Charlottesville's preeminent African American middle families, known as the "Four Hundreds Club." Charlottesville locals believed that after African Americans were emancipated in 1865, several African American families made a pact to obtain education, own businesses or obtain well-paying teaching and school administration jobs, and buy land. Each plot of land generally costed $400, hence the ""Four Hundreds Club."[20] In addition to the Jackson family, the "Four Hundreds Club" included the Coles, Bells (owner of the J.F. Bell Funeral Home), Tonslers, and Inges families.[21]


The Jackson family lived at 520 Pearl Street in Charlottesville, Virginia's predominantly African American neighborhood, Vinegar Hill (Charlottesville, Virginia). In 1939, white city officials intentionally destroyed the home and numerous other structures (including an African American Episcopal church) to construct the white-only Lane High School.[22]

Though not common at the time, Jackson attended the University of Virginia to learn Home Economics, under the guise that she would train African Americans to serve as future maids.[23] Instead, Jackson would take her training to empower her students to live independently, self-sufficiently and with stability.[24]

She also received her education in Washington, DC.

Education Career

Jackson served as a teacher at Charlottesville, Virginia's all-African American school during racial segregation, the Jefferson School..[25] [26] During her tenure there, she taught Industrial Work, and a separate boys and girls Domestic Science class, a coed cooking and sewing class.[27][28][29] Jackson also organized and subsidized school's lunch program, though the Charlottesville School Board approved it but did not co-finance it.[30] ​Organizer of the Jefferson School's first ever football team, Jackson was well-known for recruiting the football coach, and feeding the school's football players and coaches after each game.[31]

After 46 years in education, Jackson retired in 1939.[32]

Business Career

A shrewd real estate investor, Jackson and her son W.E. “Billpost” Jackson Jr. owned Jackson Poster Advertising, the first African American-ran billboard company in the United States. Operating out of their home at 204 Sixth Street NW in Charlottesville, Virginia, the company began as "Cox Poster Advertising", a company initially owned and operated by Nannie Cox Jackson's brother, James Rinaldo Cox.[33] The company specialized in posting theatrical and national product advertisements on walls and fences.[34] Jackson Jr.'s son, Edward Rinaldo Jackson, expanded the company's advertising to major corporate, local business and charitable outdoor advertising.[35]

As one of Charlottesville, Virginia's largest property owners, Jackson owned close to 40 percent of the land in the predominately African American neighborhood, Vinegar Hill (Charlottesville, Virginia). She regularly rented to other African Americans at reasonable rates.[36]

Death, Net Worth

Jackson passed away on September 19, 1953 in Charlottesville, Virginia at the age of 88. She was interred at Oakwood Cemetery in Charlottesville, Virginia. At the time of her death, Jackson's estate was worth well over $1,000,000.[37]

Legacy

The City of Charlottesville School Board named its Jackson-Via Elementary School in honor of Jackson and Betty Davis Via, a prominent white Charlottesville teacher and administrator[38]
