Education[edit]
As a young girl in Washington, D.C, she was purchased by her maternal aunt, Sarah Clark, freed, and brought to live in New Bedford, Massachusetts. As a teenager, Fanny lived in Newport, Rhode Island, as a domestic servant to George Henry Calvert, the great-grandson of Lord Baltimore. She used her earnings to hire a tutor who guided her studies for three hours a week. With the help of a scholarship from the African Methodist Church and financial support from her aunt, Fanny was able to enroll at Oberlin College in Ohio.

“Upon her death in 1913, thousands of people crowded the funeral ceremony at Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. Later, Coppin State University in Maryland was named in her honor.”

Legacy[edit]
To illustrate her point on Black economic independence, Jackson organized an effort to save the Christian Recorder from bankruptcy in 1879.

In 1888, with a committee of women from Mother Bethel, she opened a home for destitute young women after other charities refused them admission.
