Byron Allen Receives UMFF Vanguard Award 2019
Media Mogul Leading the Way – Byron Allen, CEO of is a comedian, television producer, philanthropist, and the founder, owner, chairman, and chief executive officer of the U.S. television production company Entertainment Studios.
A Game changer, Byron Allen is leading the challenge of white media powers – Comcast and Charter – for not doing business with wholly-owned Black media businesses in the USA. Using the Civil Rights Bill of 1866 — the very first civil rights bill of the United States — Allen is suing and has won several legal battles against Comcast and Charter.
Kudos to Allen for speaking truth to power and addressing inequity in USA media. We, the Urban Mediamakers, are honored to give Byron Allen the UMFF Vanguard Award 2019 in Gwinnett County, Georgia on Wednesday, October 16, 2019, 7:00 pm at the Hilton Atlanta Northeast Hotel in Norcross.
