The racially moderate Allen presided over a formerly [[Segregation|segregated]] Shreveport, but there was much unrest in the black community during his tenure. Public Safety Commissioner George Wendell D'Artois, Jr., had resigned in a swirl of corruption accusations though none reached directly to Allen. By the end of Allen's tenure, City Hall controversies produced a sense of stagnation even though Allen had worked for industrial development and public works projects, one of which bears his name.​
