It is with great sadness that I announce that James S. Jackson has passed. He was the Founder of the Program for Research on Black Americans. He was a mentor to numerous junior scholars who have become Deans, Department Chairs, Endowed Professors, and leaders in their fields.

After winning the inaugural award in 2017, Dr. James Jackson became the namesake of the University of Michigan James S. Jackson Distinguished Career Award for Diversity Scholarship. His scholarly contributions cannot be overstated. Rest In Peace and Power, Dr. Jackson.
