Nathaniel Glover Jr. (born March 29, 1943), is an American former college administrator and former police officer and sheriff.

[1] He was a mayoral candidate and served as the President of Edward Waters University, Florida's first institution established for the education of African-Americans, from 2010 to 2018.

[4] On that day, a group of 200 middle-aged and elderly white men, including some members of the Ku Klux Klan, gathered in Hemming Park, armed with axe handles and baseball bats, and attacked Civil rights protesters.

Glover said he ran to the police, expecting them to protect him, but was told to leave town or risk being killed.

[5] Police, who had not intervened when the protesters were attacked, now became involved, arresting members of the Boomerangs and other black residents who had attempted to stop the beatings.

In 1991, he was named Director of Police Services by Sheriff Dale Carson, one of the JSO's top positions.

[10] A political Democrat and a long-time police officer, Glover was elected Sheriff of Jacksonville in 1995, and was re-elected in 1999.

In 2005, he served on Edward Waters University's presidential search committee, which was formed after a plagiarism scandal led to accreditation problems and the resignation of President Jenkins.
