The Jackson Raiders, formed in 1959, was an African-American junior marching and maneuvering corps based in Chicago, Illinois. They were sponsored by the John R. Marshall American Legion Post 829, the William Snell VFW Post 7186, Leader Cleaners, and a parent booster organization.

The corps won the 1963 Oak Park “I Am an American Day” competition, and were the Chicago House Authority champions in 1962-64.

The corps’ colors were brown and white.
