Citizen44 With Mark Arinsberg

Coming from the streets of Oakland, California in the 50s, Allen Hicks did not understand why his African American friend would have to move away. He didn't see the racial bias nor understand as most children innocently and authentically bond with each other without seeing the things that begin to divide us later in life. Allen and his first wife in Copenhagen would adopt an African American girl who would successfully navigate a predominantly Caucasian culture and rise to the top of her game as she follows her passion for theater arts. Allen is a writer, photographer, painter and concerned citizen.
