A Voice and Leader for the Next "Joshua" Generation MARK S. ALLEN

When appearing on Chicago's Historic Black Talk Radio Station WVON, here is what two of this country's most powerful leaders had to say about MARK S. ALLEN . . .

Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. (D-Illinois 2nd District): "Mark Allen was very helpful to my campaign for his work at organizing grassroots people."

United States Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois): "Mark Allen is one of the greatest organizers of grassroots people in this country."


MARK S. ALLEN brings the Black community the complete Power that it needs to rise up to where it belongs in terms of greatness. Truly GOD has blessed him with a voice that comes through in his written word, his singing voice, the ability of his organizing skills, AND the power of his public speaking voice that is designed to wake up a sleeping Black community as a "MODERN DAY EZIEKIEL"breathing life into a "Valley of Dry Bones!" Today, at the prime age of 44, Mark S. Allen is uniquely qualified to bring a voice and message that brings together the young and old with a present day agenda of building, rebuilding, and SAVING the Black community from its current State of Emergency! While many groups continue to report on how bad things are in the Black community, now here's Mark S. Allen with the most powerful message of "HOW GOOD THINGS CAN BE" for the future of the Black Community. Mark S. Allen's message takes us "Back To Basics" with the themes that motivated a people through the successes of the Civil Rights Movement, such as "A Change is Gonna Come"---"The Poor People's Campaign"---"Keep on Pushing"---and for God's Sake we've got to give "More Power To The People." MARK S.ALLEN says that "The agenda and messages that raised us will be the agenda and messages that save us." Sunday, December 22, 2002 The Sun Times Columnist Mary Mitchell wrote.. "Here's the gift I want: Help for the underdogs" .... "I want people like Mark Allen, the long time assistant to the Rev. Jesse Jackson at Rainbow/PUSH to get his due. Who doesn't know that Allen is the one on the front line? Even if he cannot personally help someone, he tries to direct them to someone who can. How long must one labor in the vineyard in obscurity? When loyal people like Allen are overlooked, it parallels the very culture our civil rights groups agitate against." Mark S. Allen is currently celebrating 30 years of public service of a local, state, national, and international level, including 7 years as a national staff member to the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. and the National Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. Allen's historic career has included professional relationships with Chicago's historic radio station WVON as a Talk Show Host; The Chicago Urban League as an Organizer and Civic Analyst; The Midwest Academy/CITIZEN ACTION for Leadership for Social Change; The Chicago Rehab Network for historic affordable housing legislation; The Campaigns of Chicago's first Black Mayor Harold Washington--where as a youth coordinator, Allen helped organize thousands of young people; Recognized by Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. as a "Trojan Horse" field organizer for the first campaign of Jesse Jackson, Jr. for Congress, with Allen's Black Leadership Development Institute (BLDI) providing the official position statement justifying Jesse Jackson, Jr.'s first campaign for Congress; Field Director for the Re-Election Campaign of Dorothy Brown for Clerk of the Circuit Court; plus much more in terms of Black empowerment!! Allen says that "Black Leadership Has Done The Best That It Can Do---BUT It's NOT The Best Than Can Be Done!!!" Mark S. Allen is currently Founder/President of The Black Leadership Development Institute (BLDI); The Community Banking Coalition; Black Independent Media Coalition; Associate Editor of The South Street Journal Newspaper; Columnist/Urban Affairs Consultant for The Chicago Communicator Newspaper; Talk Show Host/Producer for Chicago Cable Access TV shows "Omnibus Roundtable and Chicagoland Community Calendar, periodic urban commentator of WBGX-AM 1570
