[Florida News\W. George Allen]
Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL): “After growing up in a segregated community not far from where I grew up in Seminole County, Florida, George served as a special agent in the Counter Intelligence Corps for the U.S. Army before going on to become the first African American to earn his J.D. from the University of Florida Law School in 1962. For over five decades of his law career, George fought tirelessly to put an end to the injustice he experienced and witnessed as it affected the African American community.”
