Oliver
Toussaint
Jackson
(1862-1948)
,
who
was
born
in
Oxford
,
Ohio
. His
parents
Hezekiah
and
Virginia
Caroline
Jackson
moved
to
Ohio
from
Virginia
in the
1850s
.
Around
1882
,
Jackson
moved
to
Cleveland
,
where
he
worked
as a
waiter
and also for the
Cleveland
Gazette
. He
later
settled
in
Boulder
,
Colorado
,
where
he
worked
as a
caterer
and
campaigned
for
Democratic
candidates
in
1908
. As a
result
, he was
given
a
messenger's
post
in the
Colorado
governor's
office
. The
governor
helped
Jackson
file
a
claim
on
320
acres
of
desert
land
in
Weld
County
,
Colorado
on
which
he
founded
an
African
American
agricultural
colony
,
Dearfield
, in
1910
. A
disciple
of
Booker
T
.
Washington
,
Jackson
believed
that
African
Americans
should be
self-reliant
and
gain
economic
independence
.
Conditions
at
Dearfield
were
harsh
at
first
, but for a
time
the
community
thrived
. By the
1920s
there were
700
property
owners
and a
number
of
small
businesses
.
Dust
storms
,
grasshoppers
, and the
Great
Depression
proved
too
much
for the
community
and
most
of its
residents
had
abandoned
it
by the
1940s
.
Date of Original
