David Hamilton Jackson\n(1884-1946)\n\navid H. Jackson was born in Estate East Hill, St.Croix on September, 28 1884.  He was an educator and later became a bookkeeper at a business owned by James C. Canegata, but he was only there for a few months before he began his work for the Danish owned territory of the Virgin Islands.\n\nSince 1779 the Danes had pressed strict censorship on all publications in the territory.  That same year an ordinance was authorized providing that only government subsidized newspapers could be published under strict government censorship.  Jackson traveled to Denmark & successfully petitioned the King of Denmark for removal of this law.  When Jackson returned home he organized the first free newspaper,  the Herald.  Liberty day is now holiday celebration of the this event.\n\nThe Herald Newspaper was just the beginning of Jackson's efforts for his people.  Ralph Bough helped Jackson organize the first labor union in the Danish West Indies during 1913.  With this union the people were able to abandon physical uprisings and begin discussing the problems with organized protests.\n\nThe labor movement later included St. Thomas, where the majority of the laborers were coal workers at the West India company wharf .  They earned $1 or more a day.  Only a small amount of St. Thomians were farmers, earning less.  On Sept. 1, 1892 the women (the majority of the coal workers were women) coal workers got frantic and demanded a wage increase and a payment in gold or its equivalent.  Gathering at Market Square and wielding sticks and other weapons to make their point.  Even though surrounded by 40 soldiers armed and prepared to take shots at the packed group, it was hard to keep the people in control.  Captain Pauludan of the military force was ready to give orders to shoot but Judge Fischer restrained him.  Luckily it rained and the crowd dispersed.\n\nThe next St. Thomas labor protest of the workers was in 1916.  By this time they had  organized the St. Thomas labor union with the help of George A. Moorehead, with a membership of about 2,700.  The coal carriers and other laborers were on strike in Oct. 1916 causing 3 ships go elsewhere for coal.  The West India Company  then entered into an agreement with the St. Thomas labor union, and began paying higher wages for the newly unionized workers.\n\nAfter the labor movement the Danish government sent down a commission to study what was happening in the Danish Virgin Islands.  They came to the conclusion that Denmark was too far away and was not knowledgeable enough of the problems in the Danish West Indies, they'ld save money if they transferred the Virgin Islands to the United States rather than invest lots of money to spend improving the poor conditions.  With entry into the American market, the commission believed that the islands economy would be improved.  Fed up with the promises of reform that the Danish government had given in the past, Jackson led the way in gaining support for the transfer of the Virgin Islands.  And even after the transfer Jackson had to fight for the citizenship of the residents of the new U.S. territory.\n\nDavid Hamilton Jackson died in 1946.  After serving his people as an educator, editor, labor leader, lawyer, judge, and legislator.  A housing project in Christiansted has been named in his honor.  And his birthday is a U.S. Virgin Island Holiday.

Yep, sure enough is true....the following is from Wikipedia link:\n\nMichael converted to the Nation of Islam on December 17, 2003.[52] Later in 2005, because of his links with the Bahrain Royal Family, he converted to Sunni Islam.[53] After this conversion, he decided to build a mosque on land near the palace of the Bahraini royal family.[54]\n\nAfter being acquitted of the child molestation charges, Jackson relocated to the Gulf island of Bahrain, where he reportedly bought a house formerly owned by a Bahrain MP.[61] Jackson allegedly spent his time in the Gulf writing new music, including a charity single dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina entitled, "I Have This Dream". Ciara, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Keyshia Cole, James Ingram, Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine, Shanice, the Reverend Shirley Caesar and The O'Jays all reportedly lent their voices to the charity song. After many delays, the single was not released, despite being announced on 13 September 2005. At the time, Jackson's spokesperson, Raymone K. Bain, said the list included Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, James Brown and Lenny Kravitz. These artists later appeared to be no longer participating.[62] One year later, the Katrina Charity Single still remains unreleased.\n\nOn March 9, 2006, California state labor officials closed the singer's Neverland Ranch and fined him $69,000 for failure to provide employment insurance. The state "stop order" bars Jackson from "using any employee labor" until he secured required workers' compensation insurance. In addition to being fined $1,000 for each of his 69 workers, Jackson is liable for up to 10 days pay for those employees who now are no longer allowed to report to Neverland for work.[68] Thirty Neverland employees have also sued Jackson for $306,000 in unpaid wages.[69]

Yes.  Read what he says about Columbine, and you'll be convinced that he's far more ingenious than Jackson.  Jackson's just... weird. \n\nMarilyn is one of the few celebrities with personality, and at least he's honest about who he is.  Plus, I really don't see him dangling kids over a balcony, etc.  \n\nHe might look bisexual, but at least he doesn't go around trying to rape little boys.

I emailed Andrea Jackson with that very question.  I got back only this;  John has decided to explore other opportunities outside of TV news.\n\nWell, she did answer the question, but I was hoping for a little more information.

At one time the good Reverend was a beacon of hope for masses of African American who did not possess the celebrity status to draw attention to their plight.\n\nSadly, nowadays, Mr. Jackson seems to only make an appearance when it will put him in the spotlight for himself.\n\nDon't hate me because I have an opinion.

The extent of this would be in parts large and also not. First you have to see that Jackson was a Jeffersonian, which means that he believes in his ideas. Examples would be laissez-faire and the common man voting. It doesn't provide individual rights because it does not protect the rights of the indians and he passes the indian removal act also known as the trail of tears. pet banks would also provide some type economic opprtunity, but he destroys the bank Biddle wants to recharter. An economic opportunity would be the spoils system which gives the chance for the common man to rise.Hope that helps.
