George H. Jackson (February, 28 1863, Natick – 19??) was an American lawyer, consul, and political activist. He is sometimes confused with George Henry Jackson (1846–1925), who was elected to the Ohio State House of Representatives in 1892[1] and who was appointed treasurer at the founding meeting of the Niagara Movement.[2]
He went to the Congo Free State in 1893 where he served as a medical missionary until 1895.[3]
Jackson was appointed Consul at La Rochelle, France in 1898 to 1908[4] and then Cognac from 1908 to 1914.[5]
In 1919 he was appointed to the Chicago Commission on Race Relations.[6]
