He was raised in Toronto, where he earned an appointment to the civil service, as a letter carrier, in May, 1882, rare for a black person at the time. Jackson's white co-workers refused to train him when he first reported for work, and he was forced to take a lower position as a hall porter. Toronto's black community rallied on Jackson's behalf. The issue soon came to the attention of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald, whose intervention gave Jackson the job he deserved. On June 2, 1882, Jackson began training as a letter carrier. He worked at the post office for 36 years until his death in 1918.   📭\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"The Banknote Man","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51850603856157,"sku":"Canada post FDC 2019 Jackson","price":5.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/6401\/3341\/files\/il_fullxfull.5186442055_an08.jpg?v=1780738971"},{"product_id":"2001-canada-post-ymca-150th-anniversary-ofdc-scott-1925","title":"2001 Canada Post YMCA 150th ANNIVERSARY - OFDC ~ Scott # 1925","description":"🍁 One (1) 2001 Canada Post 🍁 YMCA 150th ANNIVERSARY 📬 OFFICIAL FIRST DAY COVER 📭  \u003cbr\u003e\n🍁 from Canada Post. 📬\u003cbr\u003e\n🍁 Scott # 1925 📬\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst day Cover issues are an excellent way to learn more about our history and events in our heritage and culture. \u003cbr\u003e\nEach First day cover comes stamped with a special \"First Day Issue\" stamp which is only used on a limited number of covers.
