A project of the A. C. Jackson Foundation
They burned the block.They didn't burn the blueprint.
Dr. AC Jackson Foundation is a living memorial and a working platform, history, education, a Black business network, healthcare access, and a descendant registry to reconnect the families scattered in 1921.
“A dollar in Greenwood circulated 36 times before it left the community. Today, a dollar in Black America circulates once. That is the work in front of us.”

EnterAreas of advocacy
Foundation initiatives
The A. C. Jackson Foundation advocates across four areas — each carrying forward the equity-in-healthcare mission Dr. Jackson embodied.
Financial Assistance Plans
Navigating the complex web of federal, state, and hospital-based financial assistance programs so patients — especially uninsured and underinsured Black Americans — can access the care they are already entitled to.
Community Health Boot Camp
Hands-on, community-based health education that meets people where they are — covering chronic disease prevention, mental health literacy, nutrition, and how to advocate for yourself in a clinical setting.
Athlete Non-Profit Podcast
A platform connecting professional and college athletes with non-profit ventures — turning their platform and resources toward health equity, community reinvestment, and legacy-building beyond the game.
Private Equity in Healthcare
Advocating for community-controlled capital investment in Black healthcare infrastructure — clinics, hospitals, and health-tech — so that ownership and decision-making stay inside the communities being served.
Why this exists
Not a museum. A movement.
Between May 31 and June 1, 1921, white mobs burned 35 city blocks of Greenwood, over 1,200 homes, schools, churches, the hospital, the library, the newspaper. They left an estimated 300 dead and 10,000 homeless. The survivors rebuilt brick by brick without a cent of insurance payout.
This platform exists because their blueprint, ownership, education, recirculation, and family, still works. And because their descendants deserve to find each other.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for men of good will to do nothing.”
