Just got the sad note that yet ANOTHER one of my old school mentors and allies has made his transition. Brother Steve Cokely was one of our grassroots champions who help give me and a lot of young activists coming up our moral authority on how we moved and organized on college campuses across the city and state.   Steve Cokely worked with us when we worked with the late Dr. Donda West (mother of Kanye West) at Chicago State University and formed The Illinois Alliance of Black Student Organizations that became the driving source of youth support for the 1987 Re-Election Campaign of Chicago's First Black Mayor Harold Washington, and The Midwest Youth/Young Adult Committee for Rev. Jesse Jackson's 1988 Presidential Campaign.  Thank God for the life and legacy of another friend and allies of over 30 years, Brother Steve Cokely.  (Mark S. Allen)
(From Minister, Author/Publisher James C. Anyike) Bro. Steve Cokely has made his transition to the ancestors. Steve was a brilliant man who came to the forefront in civil rights in the 1970s as a young "rising star" in the NAACP in Illinois. Aside from a short period of work as an aide to Chicago Mayor Eugene Sawyer during the 1980s, his main commitment and work was that of researching and revealing the secret societies that control world economies and politics. I first met Steve in the mid 80s.

We became good friends quickly and often shared the same platform as speakers at various college events throughout Illinois. We also shared many meals, road trips and discussions about Black liberation. Steve was the first person to teach me about the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberger Group, Rothchilds, Rockafellers, Skull and Bones, Boule, Council on Foreign Relations and several other secretive individuals and organizations, and how their activities were leading to world dominance in the form of a "New World Order." His commitment to "name the names" and uncover "the beast" was unshakable,..."CHECK!!!" We had many discussions about speaking tours and books to publish. I very much looked forward to our working together many more times. May we always honor this fearless warrior who made many sacrifices for us.
