Hello All,
Come out and join your friends at the ISRA South Suburban Townhall Meeting. Our guest speaker for the February 13th meeting is Rev. Eric Wallace. He is running for State Senate Dist. 40 Eric was born in Chicago to John and Dr. Joan Wallace and has two adult sons. He has lived in the Chicagoland area off and on for over 35 years. He and his wife Jennifer now reside in Flossmoor IL.
In 2006, Eric ran for State Senate in Illinois’ 19th district. Dr. Wallace’s campaign drew the attention of news sources and politicians. Over the last few years, he has served on the African American Advisory Board for the RNC, as the Chairman of the African American Republican Council of Illinois, as a member of the Outreach Advisory Board for the Illinois GOP, and as Co-Chairman of the Cook County Republican Party. He has also served as a commissioner on the Illinois Transatlantic Slave Trade Commission and on the Village of Matteson’s Planning & Zoning Commission. More recently Wallace was a candidate for U.S. Representative in the 2nd Congressional district election in 2014. In 2008 Dr. Wallace began publishing Freedom’s Journal Magazine, an online political magazine, aimed at encouraging African-Americans to cling to their natural conservative principles. Dr. Eric Wallace couples his rich educational background with a unique ability to challenge the status quo. His post-graduate degrees in Biblical Studies (MA, ThM, Ph.D.), together with his passion and strong message are inspiring exciting change. Eric holds the distinction of being the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Union-PSCE. Dr. Eric Wallace has served as a police officer and in the Army National Guard. He is also an active member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated where his father John H. Wallace was a life member for over 65 years. And, of course there will be discussion of current events! Our host Kenootz's Pizza will again be offering a Buffet meal for this meeting.
