Prince Albert Jackson Jr. (March 17, 1925 – September 21, 2010) served as president of Savannah State College (1971–1978). During the 1970s, he collaborated with the University System of Georgia and Armstrong State College in Savannah to develop an integration plan between the formerly all-white Armstrong State and (then) Georgia State, a historically black college (HBCU). The plan eliminated redundancy in the teaching and business degree programs in both colleges.
