Marcellus Jack Anderson, Sr.
Gentleman
Marcus Aurelius defined a gentleman as one who leaves "the world untainted with falsehood, or dissimulation, or wantonness, or deceit." Such a man was Andy Anderson. Kind. Genteel. Noble. Generous. Gentle. Free.
Andy was a scholar and a teacher, and a businessman of note. He was a peacemaker in his community and in the world. Among his many recognitions and contributions are these: He was the first African-American admitted to membership in the Board of Realtors in Texas and in the seventeen Southern States and The District of Columbia. He was the first African-American in Texas to receive a real estate license from the Texas Real Estate Commission, and he served as President and Co-Founder of the Texas Association of Real Estate Brokers. He was the National Coordinator for the Johnson-Humphrey
presidential election campaign; Founder and President of the 5, 000 member United Political Organization of Texas; a United States Department of State Representative to Angola, Africa, and a U.S.Department of State Representative to the Independence Celebration of Guyana. He served as a Trustee of St. Edward's University, Texas Southern University and the American Institute for Learning. He was founder of Anderson Wormley Real Estate and Insurance Company, Founder and President of National Protestant Brotherhood Life Insurance Company, he was the First African-American to become bank director in Austin, being selected by Community National Bank; he was the First African-American to serve on the Austin Planning Commission, and the first African-American to serve as a Board Member on the Chamber of Commerce. He was an Austin Symphony Trustee, and founding member of the Board of Austin Crime Stoppers.
A broad range of community interests captured his heart. From the Boy Scouts of America where he served as district chair, to the 300, 000 member Federation of Masons of the World, where he was president, Andy gave generously to civic organizations. He was Grand Master of the St. Joseph Grand Lodge and the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas. He was also a founding member of the Austin Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.
The honorable Gus Garcia, former mayor of Austin says: "Young African-Americans owe a great debt of gratitude to Andy Anderson."
Willie Mae Kirk, retired teacher and community leader, reminisces that her appreciation for Andy began when he was her economics teacher at Samuel Huston College in 1941. "Andy had a knack for working with students, he was a compassionate listener who was truly interested in people."
Attorney Larry E. Temple, Special Counsel to President Lyndon B. Johnson, referred to Andy as a "Hero" saying: "Generations of Texans will be beneficiaries of changes that resulted from the quiet, insistent, counsel of Andy Anderson."
Former Texas Lieutenant Governor, Ben Barnes, sums up Andy's wonderful life: "Andy Anderson was one of the early pioneers for equal justice, equal opportunity, and equal rights for all Texans. Few had a greater impact on National and State policies when the government began to pass and sign legislation for equal opportunity."
Many mourn Andy's death and celebrate his life. Andy was predeceased by his son, Marcellus Jack Anderson, Jr. Surviving are his wife of 61 years, Ada; his daughter and son-in-law, Sandra Joy Anderson Baccus and Lloyd of Atlanta, Georgia; grandchildren, Lauren Baccus and Christopher Baccus; great-nieces, Denise Hopewell, Jacqui Cross, Ronnye Hopewell and Octavia Wilcox; great-nephew, Drake Hopewell; cousins, Charles and Colleen McMurray.
Andy Anderson leaves the world in debt to him.
