We are delighted that you found our family home page. Although there are a lot of Jacksons spread throughout this great land, this site is devoted to the descendants of Bose and Rhodie, of Lufkin, Texas. We are still researching our family roots, but we believe that our ancestors originated in Africa, landed in England, and were eventually transported to East Texas. As with most African American families, we have endured a lot to get to where we are. And we enjoy sharing our proud history with others. Enjoy your visit and feel free to sign our guest book. Have a blessed day.

Our senior generation:
(from l to R) Lillie, Annie, Phillip, Ora, Addie, & Asa

Family Motto:

Together We Stand, Divided We Fall

THE BLACK FAMILY PLEDGE
by Dr. Maya Angelou

BECAUSE, we have forgotten our ancestors, our children no longer give us honor.
BECAUSE, we have lost the path our ancestors cleared kneeling in perilous undergrowth, our children cannot find their way.
BECAUSE, we have banished the God of our ancestors, our children cannot pray.
BECAUSE, the old wails of our ancestors have faded beyond our hearing, our children cannot hear us crying.
BECAUSE, we have abandoned our wisdom of mothering and fathering, our befuddled children give birth to children they neither want nor understand.
BECAUSE, we have forgotten how to love, the adversary is within our gates, and holds us up to the mirror of the world shouting, "Regard the loveless."
THEREFORE, we pledge to bind ourselves to one another, to embrace our lowliest, to keep company with our loneliest, to educate our illiterate, to feed our starving, to clothe our ragged, to do all good things, knowing that we are more than keepers of our brothers and sisters.
WE ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
IN HONOR of those who toiled and implored God with golden tongues and in gratitude to the same God who brought us out of hopeless desolation, we make this pledge.
