Tunis Gulic Campbell, Jr. was a representative of the Georgia Assembly for McIntosh County, GA. He was elected to the Assembly along with his father, Tunis Campbell Sr., a civil rights activist, former Military Governor to five Georgia Sea Islands, and prominent Reverend in the African Methodist Church. 

Campbell was born in 1841 in New York, NY to Tunis Campbell Sr. and Harriet Nelson Campbell. He worked before the Civil War as a waiter and storekeeper in New York before coming to coastal Georgia at his father’s request in 1865 to assume management of the newly formed Black schools on St. Catherine’s and Sapalo Islands. Soon after taking over, Campbell’s wife and their adopted son came to the Sea Islands as teachers for the growing schools, which went from 140 children enrolled on June 30, 1865, to 200-250 children enrolled by January 1866. 

Campbell served as a messenger at the Georgia Constitutional Convention of 1867-87, where his father was one of 33 Black delegates. Tunis Campbell Sr. campaigned on his son’s behalf in McIntosh County, and both were elected to the Georgia Assembly representing McIntosh County in 1868. Like his father, Campbell was expelled from the Assembly to be reinstated in 1871. In the 1870 Census, Campbell is listed as owning $500 in real estate and $300 in personal property.  Campbell died in 1904 in Boston, MA, and is buried along with his father at Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett, MA.
