Jesse Hill
Jesse Hill Jr. (born 1927) is an Atlanta African American civil rights activist. He has been active in the civic and business communities of the city for more than five decades. Hill was president and chief executive officer of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company from 1973 to 1992, and was the first African American to be elected president of a chamber of commerce in a major city. He was a member of the board of directors for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
==Early life, education, and career==
Born in 1927 in St. Louis, Missouri, to Nancy Dennis Martin and Jesse Hill, he attended public schools in St. Louis and graduated from Lincoln University in Jefferson City with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics in 1947. He received his MBA from the University of Michigan in 1949.
From the beginning, Hill's professional and civil rights activities were closely intertwined. His career in business began in 1949 when he moved to Atlanta, the center of African American entrepreneurship in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. He joined the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, one of the country's largest and most successful black-owned businesses, as assistant actuary; he was only the second African American actuary in the country. When he first moved to the city, Hill lived at the Butler Street YMCA in Atlanta, the headquarters of the city's black leadership during the period. He also volunteered for both the Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
