One notable figure in Black history known as Jockey was Anthony Johnson, who was among the first Black people to own land in the American colonies. Johnson was originally an indentured servant in the early 17th century in Virginia but eventually gained his freedom and acquired land. He is considered one of the first black property owners in what would become the United States.

Another prominent figure associated with the term "jockey" in Black history is Isaac Burns Murphy, who was a highly successful African American jockey in the late 19th century. Murphy was one of the most successful jockeys of his time, winning three Kentucky Derbys and becoming the first jockey to win three Derbys in a row. He was one of the first African Americans to be inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

These are just a couple of examples of individuals known as "Jockey" in Black history, each making significant contributions in their respective fields.
