At the age of 15 he moved to Harlem  New York  where he enrolled in Stuyvesant High School. During this time  he became interested in African-American history and culture and began writing essays on the subject. They were so impressive that in 1925  while still a high school student  Jackson was invited to write for Marcus Garvey's newspaper  \"Negro World.\" From 1930 onwards  Jackson became associated with a number of Pan-African historians  activists and writers  including Hubert Harrison  Arturo Alfonso Schomburg  John Henrik Clarke  Willis Nathaniel Huggins and Joel Augustus Rogers. He also authored a number of books on African history  promoting a Pan-African and Afrocentrist view. \"Was Jesus Christ a Negro?\" is one of these tracts.
