About the Author
Marcus Blalock, born in Cleveland, Ohio, spent most of his life in the nearby suburb of Maple Heights. He grew up in an area known as Presidents Row and attended Mt. Moriah A.M.E. Church, where he became a devoted member and participated in numerous youth programs under the guidance of the late Mrs. Ella Smith. During his younger years, Marcus balanced academics with his love for football, playing the game from bantamweight leagues through the start of high school.
From an early age, Marcus had a knack for independence and a strong work ethic. His first taste of earning his own money sparked an entrepreneurial spirit that would later define his path. In his mid-twenties, Marcus turned that drive into action, founding his own landscaping and snow removal business. Through grit and determination, he secured residential and commercial contracts with both the city and county. Marcus wasnt just about his own successhe took pride in helping others, often giving opportunities to those others overlooked. For aspiring business owners hoping to follow in his footsteps, he willingly shared his knowledge, mentoring them as they built their own paths.
As Marcus landscaping business thrived, he found himself drawn to real estate. With the help of his childhood friend Rick Dumas, Marcus purchased his first property. Working side by side with Rick on real estate projects inspired a new venture and strengthened his entrepreneurial portfolio. But just as things seemed to be on the rise, Marcus found himself ensnared in a life-altering ordeal.
Wrongly accused and convicted of a crime he did not commit, Marcus has been incarcerated for over 23 years. Despite the hardships, he remains steadfast in his faith and hope. Even after being locked up most of my life, Marcus reflects, I still believe God will reveal the truth. Im holding on to the dream of going home, being with my kids and family, and making my mama proud while shes still here to see it.
Marcus continues to fight for justice, praying for the day his name is cleared and he is exonerated. His story is one of resilience, determination, and unyielding hope for freedom.
