Sending condolences to Professor Jackson's family at this difficult time. I took a few classes of his back in the 80's. It was clear he loved teaching, he had such a warm, loud and loving laugh. He was so easy to approach and as I was an adult learner he seemed to give me and other students grace. I will remember him fondly always. I am so sorry for your loss.

Bailey was my colleague and dean. I always found him consistent, thoughtful, and with a clear vision. Above all, he was a decent human being and a serious leader - a combination that few have.

Bailey Jackson was an exceptional man. He played an essential role in my educational and professional development. Bailey´s commitment to social justice was a major influence and is reflected in my doctoral theses and in my professional life. He was always direct and persuasive but never overbearing. I think about him frequently. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

My sincere condolences Amber and Maya on the loss of your beloved father. He dealt with his illness with great strength, grace and dignity. I have such wonderful memories of the time you spent with him on the weekend of Amber´s wedding. "Dancing" with Amber and spending time with his beautiful Granddaughter Nora was so special. Bailey truly made a difference in the world through his work for social justice. With my love and deepest sympathy. Mary Hardiman
