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.
