Allen was raised by his mother and stepfather, Bruce Brown. He graduated from Crooms High School in 1954. In 1958, Allen earned his Bachelor of Science degree in political science and minored in economics. After graduation, he served in the U.S. Army as a special agent in the Counter Intelligence Corps for two years. In 1960, he entered the University of Florida College of Law. During law school, Allen organized lunch counter sit-ins in Gainesville, Florida. In 1962, he earned his J.D. degree from the University of Florida Law School. He was the first African American to earn a law degree from a Florida institution. Allen was admitted to the Florida Bar Association in 1963 and the Bar of the United States Supreme Court in 1970.","After receiving his law degree, Allen moved with his family to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where he worked at the law firm of Orr \u0026 Kaplan for six months. He started his own law practice, thereafter, working there for forty-two years. He retired from practicing law in 2014.","In 1970, George Allen filed the lawsuit that led to the desegregation of Broward County's public schools and transportation accommodations. Previously, he had unsuccessfully tried to enroll his two sons, Frederick and Timothy, at Northside Elementary School. The case was initiated on their behalf on January 9, 1970 against the Board of Public Instruction and the School Superintendent of Broward County.","Allen was a member of organizations such as the Urban League of Broward County, the Florida Bar Association, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. He served as Broward County Bar Association's president from 1988 to 1989. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Bar Association's Hall of Fame. Additionally, Allen was appointed to Florida A\u0026M University's Board of Trustees in 2005. He recieved the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Florida in 2000.","During college at Florida A\u0026M University, George Allen met Enid Meadows (1935-2018).
