As an educator and visionary, Dr. Eric Wallace couples his rich educational background with a unique ability to challenge the status quo.  His post-graduate degrees (MA, Th.M., and PhD) in biblical studies, together with his passion and strong message, are inspiring exciting change.

Dr. Wallace’s publishing tenure spans well over ten years.  While president and CEO of Wallace Publishing and Computer Graphics, he published the Lamb’s Book, a Christian business directory, and the New Life Journal, a bimonthly magazine. He also served as editorial director for Urban Ministries, Inc. (UMI); and has authored two books: Integrity of Faith, an autobiography, and Jesus on Trial, a new approach to interpreting the gospel of John.  Both books are published by Integrity Books, a subsidiary of Wallace Multimedia Group, LLC.

In 2004, Dr. Wallace dreamed of a multimedia company and began to implement that vision.  However, he was encouraged to run for political office, and he chose to delay launching the company for two years. Dr. Wallace’s campaign drew the attention of news sources and politicians in and around the State (IL); and over the last three years, he has served on the African American Advisory Board for the Republican National Committee,  and as (former) Chairman of the African American Republican Council of Illinois. Currently he serves as:  a member of the Outreach Advisory Board for the Illinois GOP,  co-chairman of Cook County Republican Party,  vice president of the Rich Township Republicans, a commissioner on the Illinois Transatlantic Slave Trade Commission and a member of the Village of Matteson Zoning and Planning Commission.

Dr. Wallace's recent ambitions include publishing Freedom's Journal Magazine (www.freedomsjournalmagazine.com). An up and coming political magazine, which encourages African-Americans to cling to their natural conservative principles that are often ignored when making political choices; and advances its unique philosophical premise that we must "stand for what we say we believe, and actively engage in the political process that represents us.”
