Mr. Roosevelt Milton Hall was born in Jacksonville, Florida to the late Mr. Joe Hall and the late Mrs. Lizzie Hall. He was the sixth child of nine siblings, four brothers and five sisters.

Mr. Hall was a product of Duval County Public Schools, Oakland Elementary School and Matthew William Gilbert Junior-Senior High School. He believed that the key to success in life was a sound basic education.
