He was the fifth of thirteen\n         children born to Horace and Mary (Goodwyn) Gandy who were both\n         slaves until 1865. The family remained in Oktibbeha until they\n         could no longer make a living in a state of economic slavery\n         as tenant framers. They moved to Sallisaw Oklahoma hoping to\n         make a fresh start.","John Gandy began his education in the poor Mississippi\n         one-room school system. At sixteen he entered Jackson College\n         as an eight grade student. Two years later he completed their\n         program and took a job teaching and later to earn more, at a\n         local brickyard. Desiring more education he left the brickyard\n         in 1892 and managed to make his way to Ohio. Here he was\n         admitted to the Oberlin Academy where he remained until 1894.\n         Forced to leave Oberlin because of funds he tried to enroll at\n         Colgate University but failed to do so because of the same\n         reason he had to leave Oberlin.","Some of the students at Colgate however collected some\n         money on his behalf and hemanaged to reach Nashville,\n         Tennessee where he enrolled at Fisk University. He graduated\n         from Fisk in 1898 with the A. B. degree. After graduating he\n         re-enrolled as a non-resident student and in 1901 was award\n         the M. A.. Later in 1903 and 1911 he studied at Columbia\n         University in the summer. He also took non-resident graduate\n         courses at Illinois Wesleyin during the summers between the\n         years 1903 and 1913","His teaching career began in Stone County Mississippi and\n         he also taught briefly in Hanson Oklahoma. While a student at\n         Fisk he taught at various schools in Tennessee and Kentucky.\n         In 1898 he was appointed professor of Greek and Latin at\n         Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, now Virginia State\n         University. When the college program was terminated in 1902 by\n         the State he continued as professor of education until he was\n         appointed president of the University in 1914.","After arriving at Virginia State John Gandy met and married\n         Carrie Senora Brown in 1901. Four children were born out of\n         this union.","In 1914 John Gandy became the third president of what is\n         now Virginia State University. As president he oversaw the\n         schools development which included becoming the \"Land Grant\n         College\" for blacks in Virginia in 1920, the return of the\n         college department in 1923 and the name changed from V.

He was the ninth child of Delilah\n         (Culvrson) Jackson and Edward Jackson. He early schooling was\n         at Chandler Normal School in Lexington, where he completed his\n         studies in 1910. Upon completion of his secondary education he\n         entered Fisk University where he received the A.B. degree in\n         1914. He remained at Fisk for another semester and in 1916 was\n         awarded the A.M. degree.","In 1915, at the ripe old age of twenty-three, he began his\n         teaching career at Vorhees Industrial School, Denmark, South\n         Carolina, where he was also Director of the Academic\n         Department. Jackson left South Carolina in 1918 and joined the\n         staff of the Topeka Industrial Institute, Topeka, Kansas, as\n         Instructor of history and music.","Desiring more education, he returned to the east and sought\n         graduate training at Columbia University in 1920. Here he was\n         to receive one of his many setbacks, which took in stride and\n         proceeded to correct. Writing to a former instructor at Fisk,\n         Jackson stated that Columbia did not consider his A.B. and\n         A.M. from Fisk up to their standards. He, therefore, enrolled\n         for one year at New York City College. Finally, in 1921, he\n         began his studies at Columbia, where he was graduated from\n         their Teachers College in 1922.","After completing his second masters degree, Luther Jackson\n         joined the faculty of what was then the Virginia Normal and\n         Industrial Institute, now Virginia State University. While on\n         staff of the university, Luther Jackson continued his studies,\n         first at Columbia University and then at the University of\n         Chicago, where he received the Ph.D. in history in 1937. Soon\n         after arrival at V.N. \u0026 I.I., Jackson took over the\n         College High School and directed its activities from\n         1923-1928. He headed the history department from 1930-1950,\n         formed the \" League of Negro Voters\" in 1934, and in 1937\n         organized the \" Petersburg Business League\", which became the\n         Virginia Trade Association in 1941.","In 1935, Carter G. Woodson asked Luther Jackson to head all\n         fund-raising activities for the Association for the Study of\n         Negro Life and History. As chairman of the Virginia chapter,\n         Jackson went on to establish that chapter as one of the most\n         productive of all state chapters. Somehow he still found time\n         to conduct the Petersburg Community Choir of 100 voices, have\n         his doctoral dissertation, write a column for \n         The Journal and Guide(Norfolk,\n         Virginia) under the general heading of \"Rights and Duties in a\n         Democracy\" between 1942 until 1948. Although he was now\n         holding down enough work for two people, Jackson was appointed\n         to the Virginia World War II History Commission in 1944 and\n         worked with the N.A.A.C.P, which led to his receiving a plague\n         for service in 1948.","Jackson authored these books: \n         Free Negro Labor and Property Holding\n         in Virginia, 1830-1860(1942) \n         The History of the Virginia Stated\n         Teachers Association(1937) \n         Negro Office-Holders in Virginia,\n         1865-1895(1945) \n         A Short History of the Gillfield\n         Baptist Church of Petersburg, Virginia(1941) \n         Virginia Negro Soldiers and Seaman in\n         the Revolutionary War(1944)","In addition to joining the faculty, Luther Jackson married\n         a young lady whom he had met while they were both students at\n         Fisk University. The young lady was Johnella M. Frazer\n         (1897-), a native of Shelbyville, Kentucky, the daughter of\n         Laura and Patterson Tilford Frazer; her father was President\n         of Hopkinsville College in Kentucky. Mrs. Jackson completed\n         the conservatory course at Fisk at the age of seventeen(17)\n         and toured with the Fisk \"Jubilee Singers\" for two years under\n         John Work. She joined the staff of Virginia Normal and\n         Industrial Institute in 1916, a full nine years before there\n         was a music department, as the University's first full time\n         instructor of piano.","Mrs. Jackson, like Luther, also recognized the need for\n         additional training. During the summer vacation she studied at\n         Temple University at the Chicago Music College and at Columbia\n         University. She remained at Virginia State University for\n         forty-nine years, retiring in 1965.","Additional Biographical Data:1.

The county was one of five locales, which came to be called Brown v. The Board of Education\nTopeca, Kansas.The State of Virginia responded to the Supreme Court decision with what came to be called massive resistance.","In 1959 the Supreme Court of Virginia struck down Virginia's massive resistance laws. Public school systems throughout Virginia began to implement various programs to comply with the 1954 decision, the county\nof Prince Edward opted to close all public schools to prevent integration.","From 1959 until 1964, there were no public schools operating in Prince Edward County. In 1963 the Kennedy administration (mainly Robert Kennedy) brought the power of the Federal Government into the debacle in\nPrince Edward County.","The Federal Government and the United States Justice Department came to an agreement with the State of Virginia to reopen the Prince Edward County Public Schools as soon as possible.

James Howell was a\nnative of New York City where he was an elder of the African\nMethodist Episcopal Zion Church. Elder Howell, who was an abolitionist, envisioned a church to evangelize the\nSouthern \"Negro.\"","Elder Howell left his home in New York City and boarded a\ntrain heading south. Several hours later he had arrived in the town of LaCrosse in Mechlenburg, Virginia. This is where he began to form\nthe Reformed Zion Union Apostolic Church. Howell began to talk\nwith individuals concerning the church he envisioned. These\nindividuals appeared to have been interested in his idea. On on April\n1, 1869, a delegation including ministers from various\ndenominations, assembled in Boydton, Virginia to consider\nHowell's plan of union.","The plan of union was accepted by the delegation with\nexception of some matters relating to the episcopate\ngovernment. Elder Howell won suggestion of his new\ndenomination, the Zion Union Apostolic Church. The name came\nfrom many of the scriptures that Howell read. Zion was the stronghold\nof ancient days, therefore, Zion would be the stronghold of\nGod's people in this age. As Christ taught oneness of himself\nand the heavenly father and his oneness with his followers,\nso, too, shall his church dwell as a union.","During October 1869, a second meeting was held at the          Zion Society to complete the work of a Zion Union Society. At\nthis meeting guidelines for the general rules were adopted and\nElder Howell was elected to a four-year term as President of\nthe \"Zion Union Apostolic Church of America.\"","The denomination was divided into three major factions, the\nliberals, who had withdrawn from the Episcopalian communion,\nthe conservatives, who had been in the white Methodist church,\nand the fundamentalists who had come from the Baptist churches\nor were new converts to Christianity. The three factions made\nalmost unceasing war on each other. The liberals were perhaps\na decade ahead of their time in plans and ideas. The\nfundamentalists were determined to fight for local church\nsovereignty and the immunity of the pastors from any authority\nexcept local congregations. The conservatives hued strictly to\nthe Methodist line, in doctrines and in practices. Bishop\nHowell was almost a faction within himself. He used his powers\nof appointment, silencing and expulsion of ministers as a\nsledgehammer to drive the stakes of Zion according to his own\ndesigns.","Controversy became rampant and even bitter. The\nstruggle the between the bishops and the elders became more divisive to the church when\na movement grew to merge the Zion Union Church with the\nEpiscopal Church. Bishop Howell fought with an abrasive\ntenacity and the division was so sharpened that some Elders\nand churches withdrew from Zion.","Bishop James Howell released himself from his duties of\nbishop from 1880-1881. Bishop William Howell was a man\nconsidered agreeable to conservatives, liberals and the \nfundamentalist. Bishop Howell immediately approved ineffective\nwith the opening of the conference of 1880. His first order of\nbusiness was the merger of the Episcopalian government. After\nfour days of meetings on the matter, a motion prevailed that\nthe Common Book of Prayer would be adopted. The conference\nended with the Zion Union Apostolic Church being organized into   thirty-eight Episcopalian churches and missions.\nand purposes.","The merger, however, was as a yet one-sided affair. James\nR. Howell came out of the Conference more determined than ever\nto save his beloved Zion. When the Annual Conference of 1881\nwas called to order, Howell had done little on the merger\nexcept the rather astringent efforts of opposition. Once\nreturned to office of Bishop, James R. Howell used his powers\nto batter his opponents. The shock of his fury tore the church\nasunder. The Conservatives found it necessary to go to the\nBishop and once again point out the grave situation. Howell\nacceded. He set to work to hear the breach in Zion. He\nsuccessfully arranged a Conference in 1882 to put Zion Union\non one accord. The Conservative leadership took over once the\nConference was called to order and set in motion plans, which\nwould free Zion Union of discord. The Conference ended with\ndifferences worked out, a return to presidential government\nand complete rejection of the merger. From this conference,\nthe church was known as the Reformed Zion Union Apostolic\nChurch. However in the Conference of 1884, the Episcopacy\ngovernment was restored with the ruling that is shall never be\neliminated.","The Reformed Zion Union Church papers (1876-1974) are vital\npapers about the formation of a denomination after the Civil\nWar. These papers give a detailed account about the beginnings\nof this denomination and its founder James Richard Howell.","Howell, a former member of the African Methodist Episcopal\nZion Church, envisioned a church where all could go to worship\nregardless of race, creed, or color.
