David Hamilton Jackson (September 28, 1884 – May 30, 1946) was a labor rights advocate in the Danish West Indies , later the United States Virgin Islands . Jackson was an important figure in the struggle for increased civil rights and workers' rights on the islands. He petitioned for freedom of the press , and organized the islands' first trade union. Following the transfer of the territory to American control in 1917, he lobbied for US citizenship for the islanders.
Life and career [ edit ]
Jackson Bust in Grove Place.
Jackson worked as an educator and later a bookkeeper and clerk before becoming involved in the politics of the Danish West Indies. He traveled to Denmark and successfully petitioned for the repeal of a 1779 law which prohibited independent newspapers and enforced strict censorship on all publications in the territory. Upon returning home, he established the first free newspaper, The Herald . The date of this event, November 1, is celebrated as an annual public holiday known as "Liberty Day ", D. Hamilton Jackson Day , or Bull and Bread Day in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
With the help of Ralph Bough, Jackson organized the first union in the Danish West Indies, St. Croix Labor Union , in 1913. He lobbied for the transfer of the islands to American control . After his visit, a majority of the Folketing was convinced that Danish rule over the islands should be ended.[1]
A residential community in Christiansted has been named in his honor. He is also honored in the Grove Place Settlement Across from the Baobab tree.
