Fred James Jackson was born in rural area of High Point, North Carolina on Booker Street in the summer month of June during the Korean War.
Young Fred was left fatherless when his biological father denied him and his mother frail and heart broken took him on a roller coaster ride of child abuse, neglect and homelessness which landed her in the North Carolina Correction Center for Women and young Fred in a foster home.
His mother died at age 36 from alcohol abuse and poor health. Fred was released to his grand parents and a grandfather who really didn’t want another mouth to feed. A stay that was short lived and again young Fred was homeless at age 14.
