Jesse

Jackson

Mr. Jesse Jackson was born on October 20, 1948, to Willie B. and Elector Jackson in Concord, Georgia. He received his formal education at Pike County Consolidated High School in Concord, Georgia.

Jesse accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age and was united with Pleasant Hill Methodist Church. Mr. Jesse Jackson met the love of his life Ms. Margaret Burden and was united in holy matrimony on October 20, 1970, in Concord, Georgia. Their union was blessed with three children.

Jesse was employed by Georgia Tech as Maintenance Worker for many years. In his leisure time he enjoyed fishing, having BBQs, and just sitting at home watching westerns on the TV. The thing close to his heart was spending time with his family and friends.
