Samuel Leroy Jackson was born on December 21, 1948, in Washington, D.C. to Elizabeth and Roy Henry Jackson. He is the couple’s only son and spent most of his childhood in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Jackson had a difficult time growing up, as his father lived in Kansas City, Missouri. Jackson only saw his father twice before Roy died from alcoholism.

He was raised by his mother, who was a factory worker and later became a supplies buyer for a mental institution. After attending several schools, Jackson graduated from Riverside High School in Chattanooga. Jackson knew in college that he wanted to be an actor. In 1972, he graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta. Before graduating, he co-founded the “Just Us Theatre.”

Growing up, he had a stutter, and said that he studied hard as his “revenge” against the kids who bullied him. Jackson worked to overcome his speech impediment by “pretending to be other people who didn’t stutter.” However, there are still days where it returns.  Talking about his stutter, Jackson said, “Growing up a stuttering black kid in Tennessee in the fifties didn’t quite make me think I was going to end up in a place like this.”  He further added, “I was the other day on the set of Captain America, and they said ‘Action!’ and I said, ‘G-g-g-et …’ It was a G day. So I have my days. I have G days, I have P days, I have B days, I have S days, and I’m still stuttering. But I figured out a way to do it. And some days, the best thing for me to do is say my favorite word, and I get through it: ‘M**********r!'”

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Jackson campaigned for Obama saying, “Barack Obama represents everything I was told I could be growing up. I am a child of segregation. When I grew up and people told me I could be president, I knew it was a lie. But now we have a representative… the American Dream is a reality. Anyone can grow up to be a president.” In a later interview, he said that Obama had his support because “he was black. That’s why other folks vote for other people – because they look like them. That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama’s] message didn’t mean s**t to me. In the end, he’s a politician. I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do.”
