| Abstract |
Tuskegee airman and veterinarian Dr. Donald E. Jackson was born on August 17, 1926 in Kansas City, Kansas. Attracted to science, Jackson graduated from Charles Sumner High School in Kansas City in 1944 during the height of World War II. Enlisting in Army Air Corps cadet training, he graduated at the close of the War in Class 45H, the last group of Tuskegee Airmen trained. But the War ended, and he never served with the Tuskegee Airmen. At Kansas State University, he earned his doctor of veterinary medicine degree in 1951, first working with Dr. George Bronson. In 1957, Jackson opened his All Pets Clinic in Wichita, Kansas, serving small animals and pet owners until his retirement in 2001. Jackson volunteered for the Boy Scouts of America as a scout leader and tutored young black males in the Wichita school system. He served on the advisory board of Bank IV of Wichita. |
