Mr. Raphael Jackson is an African American professor that hailed from the "Big Apple" known as New York City. After teaching for an abundant amount of years in the City, he decided to broaden his horizon and relocate to the South. Mr. Jackson and his family settled in the "Sunshine State" known as Florida and found his niche at the Great Bethune-Cookman University. While being an active professor at such a prestigious institution he impacted the lives of the young wildcats. Mr. Jackson dominated his classrooms while making the discussion topics interesting to ensure participation in the classroom. Not only did Mr. Jackson dominate his classrooms, he upheld a student-professor relationship. While doing so he created bonds and friendships with the students that would last a lifetime. Mr. Raphael Jackson is considered a role model, a mentor, the greatest professor to step foot on Bethune-Cookman University campus, a father figure, and most importantly a friend. From my understanding Mr. Raphael Jackson's services can be discontinued which is displeasing and alarming to the wildcats. This petition is design to help Mr. Jackson remain at Bethune-Cookman University. Mr. Jackson's office is a safe haven to all and without him the sanity of the wildcats is at risk. Let's help keep Mr. Jackson here at Bethune-Cookman University where he belongs! With his wildcats! With the wildcats he created bonds that would last a lifetime! Hail Professor Raphael Jackson! SIGN TO KEEP MR. RAPHAEL JACKSON!

I never had the privilege of having Mr. Jackson as my professor but he served as the advisor of the Caribbean Students Association during my term as president of the club. He is an amazing educator with nothing but a wealth of knowledge to pass on. Great man!!!!
Mr. Jackson is one of the best professors in Bethune Cookman, I wouldn't be the one I am today without him. I think it is a shame that good professors keep on being let go off such as Dr.Dawson and Dr Mocombe, now they want to add Mr. Jackson to that list. It's a shame !
When I was at my breaking point; ready to give up Pro. Jackson spoke the most encouraging words to me. I graduated from BCU & Mr. Jackson was the reason why.
These actions beckon the question, "what happens when all the Black professors, whom students relate to and trust, are rail-roaded from our Black Colleges and Universities? As an alum who had almost ALL Black instructors (from physical science to humanities), it is sickening. If the students say nothing..it'll continue.
Two years after graduating Mr. Jackson STILL finds time to serve as a mentor to me. I didn't even know I liked learning until I took his class. He offered his office as my campaign headquarters. He encouraged me to know my history and he was there when my mother passed away. Lets not rid our campus of anymore GEMS.
Such an amazing man and professor.
