- Description:
- Joseph Jacobs, born in 1908, was a graduate of the Atlanta Law School. He served as a labor lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia and the southern United States for many years. Also, he was a union organizer during the 1934 Textile Strike and the 1936 Lakewood-General Motors Strike. Jacobs served as a Southern Regional Director for the United Textile Workers of America in the southeast and worked with many other local unions as their attorney. He served as an officer and member of the Workmen's Circle for over fifty years. In fact, he would become the first recipient of the Organized Labor and Workmen's Circle Award Banquet award in 1969. Jacobs served as president of the Atlanta Orchid Society and was involved in the city planning of Sandy Springs and its surrounding area during the 1970s. Jacobs served locally in the Georgia Democratic Party for many years. He was elected three times to the Democratic National Convention and as chairman of the Fulton county Democratic Party. He also was an active member of the Georgia Humanities Council and was one of the key founders of the Southern Labor Archives at Georgia State University. Mr. Jacobs passed away in 1998.
