HONORING MARK CLARK

Posted

 

After nearly 40 years of negative media propaganda against the Black Panther Party, Defense Captain Mark Clark was finally recognized as a civil rights activist and was given his place in the African American Hall of Fame Museum in Peoria, Illinois, in 2011.

 

In addition to that, in honor of Mark, the Clark family was presented with a gold plaque from It’s About Time BPP in memory of Chairman Fred Hampton and Defense Captain Mark Clark. The Clark family also received recognition and awards from Essence and Jet Magazines for Mark’s contribution to civil rights.

My personal contribution in honor of my brother Mark was the creation of this website located at  https://www.activistmarkclark.org which I have maintenance since 2017. I also did a drawing of Mark in 2015 which is shown below.

In addition to the drawing, I submitted a video about Mark that is now featured on Comcast: The Voices of the Civil Rights Movement. Comcast NBC Universal is a platform that honors the legacy and impact of the men and women who championed racial equality in the United States.

Mark Clark is now listed among other great Civil Rights Activist and participants such as Rev. Martin Luther King Jr, John Lewis, the 5th girl, Sarah Collins Rudolph, who survived the 16th Street bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, and numerous other civil rights activist and disenfranchised participants. What a great honor that is! Thank you Lisa Melillo for your assistance in adding Mark Clark among that list. I really appreciate it.
