Preferred Citation Proverb Jacobs Papers, MS 186, African American Museum & Library at Oakland, Oakland Public Library. Oakland, California. Biography / Administrative History Proverb Jacobs (1935-2016) was born Proverb Jacobs Jr. in Marksville, Louisiana, on May 25, 1935. He was a year old when his family relocated to West Oakland as part of the great migration leaving the American South in search of economic opportunity. His father had been a “stump-barber” in Louisiana, so called for the practice of using stumps for barber chairs, and was the first to break the color barrier at Moler Barber College. Jacobs attended Oakland Technical High School, where he became the school’s football and track star in the early 1950s, earning all-city honors in both sports. After graduating Oakland Technical High School Jacobs played college football at Modesto Junior College under head football and track and field coach Stan Pavko, becoming 1954 Big Seven Conference Champion and receiving All-Conference and All-Northern California honors. In January 1956 he transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, at the recruitment of head coach Lynn “Pappy” Waldorf to play as a starter. As one of five African Americans on the football team, Jacobs studied Physical Education and worked for the Associated Students of the University of California. In 1958 Jacobs was selected to play in the College Football All-Star Game under Pete Elliott’s Cal squad and named as a guard to the United Press All-Pacific-Coast Conference team.

Guide to the the Proverb Jacobs MS 186 2 Papers He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles as an offensive and defensive lineman in the second round of the 1958 National Football League draft. After his first season Jacobs was called to serve six months active duty at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He was then recruited by the New York Giants, where he played during the 1960 season, followed by the New York Titans in 1961. In the spring semester of 1963 Jacobs was readmitted to the University of California, Berkeley, to finish his undergraduate degree and signed with the Oakland Raiders as a lineman. On August 21, 1963, when the Raiders were scheduled in an exhibition game at Mobile, Alabama's segregated Ladd Stadium, Jacobs, along with Art Powell, was one of six players to take a stand against playing. Wide-receiver Powell had played alongside Jacobs with the Titans and had taken numerous boycotts against the segregation of African American players in the team's gameday housing. After raising objections with Al Davis, the Raiders’ coach and general manager, the preseason game was cancelled and subsequently moved to Oakland. During the period of 1958-1964, Jacobs worked off-season as a group counselor for the Alameda County Probation Department at the Juvenile Reception Center. Due to his work with youth and inspired by coaches at McClymonds High School (Oakland, California), Jacobs decided to leave professional sports and work towards a Special Secondary Credential in Physical Education at San Francisco State University, beginning his teaching and coaching career in 1964. After receiving his degree at San Francisco State in 1968, Jacobs went on complete a Ph.D. in Education from the University of California, Berkeley. While there he wrote articles that appeared in Scholastic Coach Magazine, Track and Field and the Athletic Journal. In 1968 Jacobs began working at Laney College as a physical education instructor and coach, serving as Director of Men’s Physical Education from 1970 to 1971, head Track and Field coach from 1975 to 1978, and becoming Athletic Director in 1982. He remained at Laney for more than 30 years teaching physical education, mathematics, political science, and the sociology of sports. As Athletic Director, Jacobs was instrumental in obtaining a women's track program for the school. Other career highlights at Laney included coaching James Robinson, dominant American 800 meters runner from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s. Robinson ran in the 1976 Summer Olympics and was a member of the U.S. Olympic team that did not compete due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott protesting the Soviet war in Afghanistan. Other notable highlights included assisting with coaching the Northern California Semi-Pro Football League San Jose Apaches during the 1967 season, and scouting for the San Francisco 49ers from 1979-1985 under life-long friend and coach Bill Walsh. Jacobs was instrumental in helping develop the 49ers' winning roster during the 1982 XVI Super Bowl. Walsh would later dedicate his book, Building a Champion: On Football and the Making of the 49ers, to Jacobs. After retiring from teaching in 2005 Jacobs began work on his memoir. Self-published in 2014, Autobiography of an Unknown Football Player, is a monumental, two-volume (1681 pp) autobiography answering his granddaughter’s question of where their family came from. The book follows Jacobs' life and accomplishments against a background of American history and the radical changes of the twentieth century. In it he relates the Jacobs family lineage and family biographies, the vast social changes that marked his youth in Oakland, his experiences as an African American professional football player, and his career coaching Laney College athletes and mentoring youth.
