Monogrammed Brick Stories
Brick: Jackson, Lucille
Contributed by Lucille Jackson
E. W. Jackson (1877-1958) was born in Plain Dealind, LA. He was the son of a slave, Ran Jackson (1848-1925), a very prosperous farmer who had to leave Louisiana by night due to racial tension. He chose to come to Oklahoma during the Land Rush of 1907. He and his wife, Maggie, raised ten children and lived for many years in the city of Red Bird, OK, in Wagoner County.

In 2012 the Oklahoma Historical Society invited those who purchased one of the monogrammed bricks paving the Red River Journey at the Oklahoma History Center to share about the person or group their brick honors. Below is a list of those who submitted stories and the message shown on their brick. Use the links below to read the contributed story.
This project was made possible by a generous donation from Catherine B. Wootten.
