Jonathan Clarkson Gibbs was a pastor, abolitionist, and Florida’s first and only Black Secretary of State. He also helped to build the state's education system, including leadership to establish @FAMU_1887 (#FAMU #FAMUly #Rattlers #FangsUp🐍). #BlackHistoryMonth Image
Born in Philadelphia in 1821, Gibbs worked as a carpenter’s apprentice before he attended Dartmouth College, the third Black man to do so. He later attended Princeton Theological Seminary to become a minister.
He became a prominent abolitionist, working with Frederick Douglass and others, writing for anti-slavery publications, and serving as Pastor for the First African Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. He called for equal treatment on the rail cars and accommodations.

Living Under a Death Threat:"Is it real?" That's the question from media mgmt when assessing an online/physical threat to journalists. The real question? "Will someone act on this threat?" The next dean @FAMUSJGC82 @FAMU_1887 this came to me at my home. Be ready. #FAMU133YEARS 1/ Image
This is a death threat. Received at my home in March 2020. Just as I was getting ready to go to court to get a cyberstalking injunction against some @FAMU_1887 "colleagues" who used #fakenews and #smearcampaign to #collude w @FAMUSJGC82 to get me fired. Or killed. 2/
This death threat came to my home...and threatened me, my family and another colleague. Why you ask, would someone want me dead or out of the way? And it's clearly @FAMU_1887 related because of OTHER MURDERS OF OTHER DEANS?!?! Are you reading this? @FAMUSJGC82 #FAMU133YEARS 3/ Image
