He was born on February 25, 1924, the seventh of fourteen children, in Rappahannock County, VA. His father and mother were tenant farmers, whose children grew up helping out with the farming, cutting timber, herding cows, and doing whatever was needed to support their family.","Jackson's parents and siblings all played some combinations of guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, autoharp, and even homemade penny whistles. Jackson's father was well known in the area and traveled around the county to parties and dances, playing the blues, old mountain songs, and other regional music. His mother played and sang spiritual songs.","Jackson began playing his father's guitar when he was four. He learned how to play from his father, by watching the other musicians he saw performing at local gatherings, and from a man known as Happy, in a month-long series of guitar lessons. Jackson's older sister purchased a guitar for him when he was nine years old. He also learned from phonograph records. He was fond of the music of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Jimmie Rodgers, and Ernest Tubb, as well as a wide range of gospel, ragtime, and country hymns.","Like his father, Jackson performed at house parties, although music was something reserved for evenings and weekends, as he had multiple jobs including working as a cook, butler, chauffeur, general caretaker, and even a gravedigger. Jackson already had a young wife and a family of his own when he left his parents' farm at 25 years old. He moved with his wife and children to Fairfax, Virginia, where he worked on another farm, other occasional jobs such as chopping and hauling firewood and digging graves.","Circumstances led Jackson to give up the house party circuit and retire from public performances for nearly 20 years. But Jackson began his return to playing music in 1962 when he played for children that were playing in his yard, and later when he agreed to giving guitar lessons to his mailman. It was during one of these lessons that took place at the gas station where the mailman worked at night that professor of folklore and English at the University of Virginia, Charles Perdue heard Jackson playing after stopping for gas and asked him to play for him.","Perdue, who was involved with the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, the National Council for the Traditional Arts, and the effort to record and preserve folk music across Virginia introduced Jackson to other blues and folk musicians in the region and across the country. Perdue championed Jackson's playing to help establish him as a professional musician, and help him become thoroughly successful on the folk circuit both at home and around the world","For the next thirty-plus years he was the Virginia/Washington, D.C. area's most prominent traditional artist. He was a festival favorite who also hosted the musical house parties in the region. Jackson toured widely across the United States and abroad, making numerous recordings, playing his distinctive Piedmont guitar blues, and also performing on the banjo. He is one of the few African American musicians to play the blues on the banjo, which he learned growing up in the rural Piedmont region.","Jackson drew attention to the rich musical traditions of Appalachia and advocated for the quantity and quality of local Virginia artists. However, although Jackson recalled a thriving blues guitar tradition in his home community, few black Virginians were recorded. During the 1920s and 1930s only three musicians produced a significant body of recordings.","John Jackson received the National Heritage Fellowship in 1986 from the National Endowment for the Arts for his role as a teacher and traditional artist, which is America's highest honor in the folk music world. Jackson performed for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, the US Congress, many European heads of state, and in Carnegie and Royal Albert Hall. He played with famous musicians such as B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, and Ricky Scaggs.","Jackson survived his wife, Cora, who died in October 1990, three sons, and one daughter. He performed his last show on New Year's Eve 2002 and died on January 20, 2002.","Reference list:","Remembering John Jackson. (2025).

He was born on February 25, 1924, the seventh of fourteen children, in Rappahannock County, VA. His father and mother were tenant farmers, whose children grew up helping out with the farming, cutting timber, herding cows, and doing whatever was needed to support their family.","Jackson's parents and siblings all played some combinations of guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, autoharp, and even homemade penny whistles. Jackson's father was well known in the area and traveled around the county to parties and dances, playing the blues, old mountain songs, and other regional music. His mother played and sang spiritual songs.","Jackson began playing his father's guitar when he was four. He learned how to play from his father, by watching the other musicians he saw performing at local gatherings, and from a man known as Happy, in a month-long series of guitar lessons. Jackson's older sister purchased a guitar for him when he was nine years old. He also learned from phonograph records. He was fond of the music of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Jimmie Rodgers, and Ernest Tubb, as well as a wide range of gospel, ragtime, and country hymns.","Like his father, Jackson performed at house parties, although music was something reserved for evenings and weekends, as he had multiple jobs including working as a cook, butler, chauffeur, general caretaker, and even a gravedigger. Jackson already had a young wife and a family of his own when he left his parents' farm at 25 years old. He moved with his wife and children to Fairfax, Virginia, where he worked on another farm, other occasional jobs such as chopping and hauling firewood and digging graves.","Circumstances led Jackson to give up the house party circuit and retire from public performances for nearly 20 years. But Jackson began his return to playing music in 1962 when he played for children that were playing in his yard, and later when he agreed to giving guitar lessons to his mailman. It was during one of these lessons that took place at the gas station where the mailman worked at night that professor of folklore and English at the University of Virginia, Charles Perdue heard Jackson playing after stopping for gas and asked him to play for him.","Perdue, who was involved with the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, the National Council for the Traditional Arts, and the effort to record and preserve folk music across Virginia introduced Jackson to other blues and folk musicians in the region and across the country. Perdue championed Jackson's playing to help establish him as a professional musician, and help him become thoroughly successful on the folk circuit both at home and around the world","For the next thirty-plus years he was the Virginia/Washington, D.C. area's most prominent traditional artist. He was a festival favorite who also hosted the musical house parties in the region. Jackson toured widely across the United States and abroad, making numerous recordings, playing his distinctive Piedmont guitar blues, and also performing on the banjo. He is one of the few African American musicians to play the blues on the banjo, which he learned growing up in the rural Piedmont region.","Jackson drew attention to the rich musical traditions of Appalachia and advocated for the quantity and quality of local Virginia artists. However, although Jackson recalled a thriving blues guitar tradition in his home community, few black Virginians were recorded. During the 1920s and 1930s only three musicians produced a significant body of recordings.","John Jackson received the National Heritage Fellowship in 1986 from the National Endowment for the Arts for his role as a teacher and traditional artist, which is America's highest honor in the folk music world. Jackson performed for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, the US Congress, many European heads of state, and in Carnegie and Royal Albert Hall. He played with famous musicians such as B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, and Ricky Scaggs.","Jackson survived his wife, Cora, who died in October 1990, three sons, and one daughter. He performed his last show on New Year's Eve 2002 and died on January 20, 2002.","Reference list:","Remembering John Jackson. (2025).

Accessed October 12, 2016. https://www.harrisonburgva.gov/zoning/.","The Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority (HRHA) was founded in November 1955 to combat urban dilapidation and to ensure a revived urban zone within Harrisonburg along with affordable housing for residents. It still operates today within the city of Harrisonburg with its original mission statement: \"To promote adequate and affordable housing economic opportunity and a suitable living environment free from discrimination; and to foster redevelopment of  blighted areas to ensure the economic, social and housing vitality of our community.\"","These photos, dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, were taken as part of the R4 and R16 programs and show areas believed to be in need of urban renewal. R4 refers to the zoning district that was administered by the City of Harrisonburg. According to the City of Harrisonburg, the R4 designation denotes a planned unit residential district zone and is mainly an indicator of planned communities of affordable subsidized government housing with various requirements and standards.","The photographs of the Franklin and Harrison Heights neighborhood developments were the first projects by the R4 Commission and the HRHA as a whole. Franklin Heights, located on Lincoln Circle and Kelley, Hill, E. Johnson, Broad, E. Gay, Myrtle, and Sterling Streets, was constructed on a former Harrisonburg landfill. Harrison Heights is located on Myers Avenue and E. Bruce, Norwood, and Reservoir Streets. Both developments were made available to lower income families and subsidized by the city of Harrisonburg.","The R4 and R16 programs revived the urban areas of Harrisonburg, but had a social cost of dispersing and displacing the previous residents of areas they affected. These affected neighborhoods were largely integrated prior to the R4 and R16 urban renewal efforts. However, the resulting displacement of residents reinforced racial separation within the city.","In preparation for possible future rusting and failure of the fasteners, all photographs from the R16 Urban Renewal Project photo album were removed and foldered numerically according to their assigned number. The photo album is foldered and housed separately in a half-Hollinger box. Photograph #29 from this photo album was mended in order to reattach the upper right corner that had become detached.","Robert James Sullivan Jr. Papers, 1930-2013, SC 0003, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA.","The Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority Photographs, 1960-1987, consist of two Hollinger boxes and 1 half-Hollinger box (.86 cubic feet). The collection consists primarily of photographs, and also include several photocopies and also include a photo album. All of the photographs are black-and-white, ranging in size from 3 ½ x 5 inches to 8 x 10 inches. The photos are in fairly good condition with the exception of some folds, minor tears, and holes in corners from staples.","The photographs mainly document areas that the Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority was considering for urban renewal. The photos often depict areas of downtown and residential Harrisonburg that are dilapidated, vacant, or deemed unappealing.","Four folders of photographs document the construction of Franklin Heights and Harrison Heights, planned communities of subsidized housing spearheaded by the HRHA in 1960-1961 located on Kelley Street, Lincoln Circle, East Bruce, Hill, Broad, East Gay, Myrtle, Sterling, Norwood, East Johnson, Reservoir Street, and Myers Avenue. The photographs show the various phases of construction and are labeled based on the area within the community and the housing units that are depicted. They are organized numerically by the numbered labels affixed to or printed on the photographs. The researcher should note that there are gaps in the numbers indicating missing photographs. \"Allen Litten Photo\" is stamped on the verso of each photograph. It is presumed that HRHA commissioned Allen Litten, a local photographer, to take the photographs.","A portion of the photographs, 96 in total, were originally compiled in a photo album titled \"PHOTOS URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT VA. R-16 APRIL 5, 1962.\" The photographs were originally stapled to the album pages, but were removed in preparation for possible future rusting and failure of the fasteners. The photo album is foldered and boxed separately from the photographs. These photographs, all measuring 8 x 10 inches and dating to 1962, show the houses and buildings targeted for renewal with the R16 program. The photographs are numbered based upon the structure they depict. Each structure was photographed from at least two different angles – primarily a front and back view. There are some gaps within the numbering system, with buildings 27, 28, 39, and 50 not included in the collection at all. Additional unnumbered photographs include various depictions of seemingly unrelated subjects. One depicts a facsimile of a much older photograph, likely from the early twentieth century.","The collection also includes a set of 287 3 ½ x 5 inches photos taken in 1982 by Ann McCleary. These photographs show houses and businesses in downtown and residential Harrisonburg on a block-by-block basis, with each block separated into one envelope. Each of the envelopes (refoldered into 26 folders) has its own file number used by the HRHA. The numbers begin at 115-27 and end with 115-55. File No. 115-28, 115-29, and 115-53 are not included in the collection. Three of the 20 photographs from File No. 115-45 were not included in the donation; only 17 are present.","One folder contains photocopies of undated photographs while another single folder contains miscellaneous photographs that are unlabeled and of assorted sizes of Harrisonburg ranging from 1960-1987.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

Many of the photographs originated from the JMU Photography Services' 35mm slide collection, or were taken by Craig Baugher.

The land where the house was built was originally called the Tom Coles farm and was sold to the family in 1890. Douglas Forsyth eventually sold this mansion to Daniel Van Clief, a successful horse stud breeder, but it fell into disrepair and eventually was torn down in 1970. The Van Cliefs continued to own the land until 2008.","The \"Algoma farm,\" located in Buckingham, Virginia, was the summer home of Thomas Muldrup Logan and his family.

Logan bought the \"Hartsook Farm,\" and this land became the \"Algoma\" Farm. The \"Algoma Farm\" had several buildings on it including the \"Algoma\" house which was built in the 1880s, \"Axtell Academy,\" an educational school for women which was managed by his daughter Meta Cabell (1875-1904). The \"John Crews Farm\" was owned by Lena Logan (1879-1961), the wife of Douglas Forsyth, and \"Dungannon,\"  built as a summer home for Dr. H.D. Bruns and his wife, Katy Logan Bruns, was next to \"Algoma.\"","There is a book called the \"Algoma Log Book,\" deciphered by Elizabeth Scott, which gives an excellent record of the everyday activities of this house as well as the African Americans which worked for the family.","The link to the \"Algoma Log Book\" transcribed by Elizabeth Scott is:","https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zwWZLf51_snYjoOShPP7NcSh-dx6tZ49/view?usp=sharing","This folder contains images of Axtell Academy, which was a school for women, built in Buckingham County in 1892.

Accessed January 26, 2017. https://www.jmu.edu/visitors/about/index.shtml.","James Madison University's Board of Visitors was created in 1964 with the prime directive of overseeing the effective government of the university, then Madison College. When the institution opened in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, the governing body was its own Board of Trustees. The school changed its name to the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1914 and governance was shifted to the Virginia Normal School Board, a state agency. The institution was renamed once again in 1924 to the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg. The governance also experienced change as control was transferred to the State Board of Education. In 1964, the final change occurred when the Virginia General Assembly established independent boards of visitors for each of the state's former teacher colleges.","The Governor of Virginia holds the power of appointing each member of the Board of Visitors. The first Board of Visitors was comprised of 11 members; its first rector was Burr P. Harrison. The Virginia General Assembly acted to have the board size increased to 15 members in 1989. Of the selected members, no more than two can be non-Virginians and board members include both JMU alumni and non-alumni. In addition to appointed members, a student representative and the speaker of the JMU Faculty Senate serve on the board. Terms of service do apply as board members are not eligible to serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. Officers of the board (rector, vice rector, and secretary) are elected annually by the board for one-year terms.","The collection was reprocessed in 2016 and contains all documents from the original accession (PR 99-1122) except for the Faculty Minutes, 1908-1998, which were removed to form a separate collection (UA 0011). A copy of the original finding aid is located in the collection control file. Old collection folders were reused during reprocessing and folder titles were retained when possible. Inserts found in the Board of Trustees Minute Book were removed and foldered separately. The inserts were subsequently photocopied and those copies are also foldered separately. The Board of Visitors meeting minutes and President's Reports were originally bound, but were disbound in 2016 during reprocessing.","The Office of the President: Board of Visitors Records document the activities of the James Madison University Board of Visitors and its predecessor, the Board of Trustees. The collection is comprised primarily of meeting minutes and correspondence. Minutes from the Board of Visitors' first meeting on July 16, 1964 are included. Researchers should note that meeting minutes from the various iterations of university governing bodies between 1914 and 1963 are not included. The correspondence is chiefly official memoranda, letters concerning business and new board members, and contractual agreements granting faculty members temporary leaves of absence. The collection also includes annual reports and reports to the Board of Visitors, financial materials documenting lease agreements involving James Madison University, athletic program expenditure statements, and audit reports. Miscellaneous items include documents explaining the origins of buildings' names, a Board of Visitors manual, and a document of Board of Visitors Resolutions.","This series comprises chiefly Board of Visitors meeting minutes from 1964 to 2025 beginning with the first meeting on July 16, 1964. During that first meeting the members decided on the official design for \"The Visitors of Madison College,\" agreed upon making the meetings of the Visitors closed to the public, approved of the revised faculty salary, and approved the continuation of degrees being offered to students. Also included is the original Board of Trustees minute book dating from 1908 to 1914. A full transcript is also contained within this series.","This series contains correspondence between fellow board members, government officials, and members of the university administration. Contract agreements between board members and faculty of the college are included. Topics of interest include but are not limited to campus construction and related funding, appropriation increases, project requests, requests related to enrollment increases, G. Tyler Miller's retirement, and faculty promotions.","This series contains documents about the naming of buildings on campus as well as information on resolutions, manuals, honorary degrees and the Russell Weaver Society.","The reports contain data regarding enrollment, campus services, faculty salaries, and financial records. Also included are recommendations from the president on approvals of resignations and appointments, budget increases, academic changes, campus expansion, etc. These reports provide an overview of the administrative proceedings of the university from one year to the next and are comprised of reports to the State Board of Education, reports to the Board of Visitors, annual reports, and special reports.","Subseries 5.1: Leases/Legal Documents, 1922-1981, is comprised primarily of lease agreements between James Madison University, both as the lessor and lessee, and persons or companies. Of particular interest are the fire insurance documents which include a Schedule of Buildings at the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg (June 2, 1924) and a Fire Insurance Report on State Teacher's College, Harrisonburg, Virginia (February 1932) prepared by the Philadelphia Fire \u0026 Marine Insurance Company. The Schedule of Buildings lists all campus buildings, their architectural type, date of erection, and total cost. The Fire Insurance Report provides a detailed description of all campus buildings (including University Farm properties in Port Republic) and includes date of erection, occupancy, recommendations, estimated insurable value, and campus map. Photographs are included with each building description.","List of campus buildings detailed (with photographs) in the fire insurance report:","Spotswood HallSheldon HallJohnston HallAlumnae HallWalter Reed Hall (Keezell Hall)Wilson HallMaury Hall (Gabbin Hall)Jackson Hall (Darcus Johnson Hall)Harrison HallAshby Hall (Harper Allen-Lee Hall)Hillcrest HousePractice House (Varner House)Cleveland CottageCarter HouseCottage No. 2StablePractice House (Hooke House) - University Farm, Port RepublicDuke Cottage - University Farm, Port RepublicBarn - University Farm, Port RepublicCaretaker's Dwelling - University Farm, Port Republic","Subseries 5.2: Budget Reports, 1961-1989, contains annual reports, financial reports detailing the university's business and financial operations, reports on audits prepared by the auditor of public accounts for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and a limited amount of material related to athletic program expenses.
