The Legacy Project
Our Vision
The GW Jackson Multicultural Society Legacy Park is envisioned as a catalyst; a vibrant force in creating community collaborations and capturing the rich history and legacy of the African American experience, a vital part of the experience of all Americans. It will be a true sense of place for the Society's homage to its namesake, George Washington Jackson, the first African American school principal in Corsicana, Texas.
​
Set on the original homesite of Mr. Jackson, an open park centered by a bronze sculpture of Jackson in a familiar place, seated with an outstretched hand guiding students and families, will be a setting both to honor the history of the place as a well as invite new reasons to make history.
With the help of donations and fundraising, we are hopeful that Legacy Park can be
open to the public in 2021.
