Birthday 30th November, 1929
Died 1967
Occupation Activist

Wharlest Jackson (1930–1967) was the treasurer of the Natchez, Mississippi branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People until his assassination by a car bomb, which was placed on the frame of his truck under the driver side seat. The bomb went off at approximate 8pm on February 27th, 1967. This supposedly occurred when he switched on his turn signal on his way home. The explosion caused serious damage to Wharlest's lower torso and he died on the scene. The scene of his death was six blocks away from the site that he was employed, Armstrong Rubber and Tire Company. The culprit was never found, and while the FBI suspected the involvement of the Silver Dollar Group, an offshoot of the Ku Klux Klan, there was no investigation that came up with a conclusion or a culprit, despite the ten thousand pages of FBI documentation and evidence.
