He is the chair of the Psychology Department, a member of the Executive Board of Zoo Atlanta, Deacon of Ebenezer Baptist Church (frequently associated with Dr. King), has served in military intelligence, and is a passionate zoologist with a focus in entomology and ethology.

He has a deep connection with Dr. King, who was his mentor and family friend. Dr. Jackson is going to speak about what life was like as a teen during the Civil Rights movement and how Dr. King affected his life.
