In June\n         1957, Virginia State College conferred upon him the honorary\n         degree of Doctor of Laws.","Richardson served as principal of the Mecklenburg County\n         Training School, in South Hill, Virginia, 1927-1935; and as\n         Director of academics at Saint Paul Normal School,\n         Lawrenceville, Virginia. The State Superintendent of Public\n         Instruction appointed him Assistant Supervisor of \"Negro\"\n         Education in 1936. On January 1, 1951, he was promoted to the\n         position of Associate Supervisor of Elementary and Secondary\n         Education. He received another promotion on September 1, 1966,\n         to Associate Director of the Division of Secondary Education.\n         He retired April 4, 1969.","Richardson had two elementary schools and one high school\n         named for him. The elementary schools were in Culpepper and\n         the other in Blackstone, Virginia. Archie Richardson High\n         School was located in Louisa County, Virginia.","During his tenure, he contributed a number of articles to\n         State and National journals of education. He also authored The\n         Development of Negro Education in Virginia.","Mr. Richardson was married to Linnie Ramey for over fifty\n         years.

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) \n         ","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.

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) \n         ","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.
