One of the most historically significant contributors to progress in St. Petersburg, Elder Jordan Sr. was a savvy business leader, a philanthropist and a tireless advocate for the rights of African American people.

Jordan’s accomplishments, during the darkest days of the Jim Crow era, were many. He donated 26 acres for the city’s first Black housing development, Jordan Park, and built (with his sons) the Manhattan Casino, the south side’s center of activity and entertainment for many years. In 1925, he developed the second elementary school for Black children (Jordan Elementary).
