Allen is a writer, educator and civil rights activist who wrote and published a number of influential books on racial equality and gender social justice issues. His publications include Black Awakening in Capitalist America, The Port Chicago Mutiny and Reluctant Reformers: Racism and Social Reform Movements in the U.S. Allen has contributed numerous articles to anthologies and textbooks, held editorial posts at The Black Scholar, partnered with in 1984 to launch the independent Wild Trees Press and has been a university educator and administrator. Allen was born on May 29, 1942 in Atlanta, Georgia to Robert Allen, a mechanic, and Sadie (Sims) Allen, a teacher and academic administrator. Growing up in racially segregated Atlanta, Allen was deeply impacted by the brutal killing and lynching of Emmett Till in 1955. This event greatly informed his view on racial discrimination and societal injustices and when Allen entered Morehouse College in 1958, he participated in the protests and marches of the burgeoning civil rights movement. After graduating with a B.S. from Morehouse in 1963, Allen worked in investigative journalism with The Guardian newspaper in New York City while actively protesting against the Vietnam War. He pursued a master’s degree in sociology at Columbia University, obtaining an M.A. from the New School for Social Research in New York in 1976. Allen’s teaching career began at San Jose State University in 1969 in the newly formed African American Studies program. In 1973, he was appointed assistant professor and head of the Ethnic Studies Department at Mills College in Oakland, California. Later, Allen taught in University of California at Berkeley’s African American Studies and Ethnic Studies department from 1993-2013, serving as Adjunct Professor of African American and Ethnic Studies for the second half of his tenure and advising graduate students. In the mid-1970s, Allen began his inquiry into the historic Port Chicago explosion and mutiny trial, upon discovering a pamphlet published in 1945 titled “Remember Port Chicago?” while researching an article about wartime racism and discrimination of blacks in the Navy. Allen investigated the events of the story that unfolded 30 years prior and decided to focus his Ph.D thesis on the topic of exposing the discrimination as well as the collective memory and stress caused by the event. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship toward the research in 1977 and spent several years conducting original research, interviewing and writing about the events of Port Chicago, before receiving his Ph.D. in sociology from University of California at San Francisco in 1983. Allen is the recipient of many awards, fellowships and honors, including a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship (1963), a Guggenheim Fellowship to support research on The Port Chicago Mutiny (1977), a Resolution of Commendation by the California State Assembly for The Port Chicago Mutiny research (1990), a Northern California Emmy Award for The Port Chicago Mutiny television documentary (1991), and an American Book Award (1995), shared with Brotherman co-editor, .
