Recently in class, I worked to uncover some forgotten black history around Jacksonville. This story is about Rutledge Pearson who was a civil rights activist, baseball player and teacher.
Please take a read.
This story is about Ax Handle Saturday, an event that many forget or don't know happened in the town of Jacksonville. As part of the forgotten black history of Jacksonville, I worked hard to dig up the details of this story.
Happy Reading.
