George Edwin Taylor


 George Taylor 

In Jacksonville's black society, George Edwin Taylor, son of a slave writer, labor activist, farmer, policeman, politician, seller o potions and elixirs, actually moved up, establishing himself as a popular figure in the city before he died in 1925, 13 years after this arrival. How much he referred to his presidential run, or how much it was brought to him in his new home is lost to history. What is known is that in 1904, Taylor, with the help of newly established National Liberty Party, ran for U.S. President against incumbent Republican Theodore Roosevelt and Democrat Alton B. Parker. Taylor has been generally overlooked or criticized in the media. Brodnax noted that he was "a Black man with a ticket from a third party, who had little interest in Black men or third parties." Taylor is remarkable figure in American politics-perhaps the first African-American to run for office, with the help of a national political party, Brodnax noted.
