RICHARD ALLEN
~This land, which we have watered with our tears and
our blood, is now out itietftr country,~ wrote Bishop
Richard Alien on Neveiibe# 2, 1827, in FREEDOM~S

- JOURNAL, the first ttewspaper published by Negroes in

this eourtiy. Alle was Bert on February 14, 1760, the
slavé of Betijaimin Chew it Philadelphia, but very soon
theteaftet he was suid with his whole family to 4 planter
livitig in Dever, Beluware, ~Whre tie ~grew to thanhood.

He was converted to Chifistianity. in 1777 and began
his eateef as chee ~three years. later. Moved by the

foréé Ff). is master pte him. to

one of Allen~s; was at this~ cls that the

at the St. George Methoilist Episcopal Church and various
other white churches in the City.

At first the youiig clergyman thought he would be at
ease in-the white people~s ehurcli, but the probleiis which
faced him becaine in~teasingly difticult. He préached with
such power that~ he attractéd many of his. people which
caused the chirch to send Negroes to the gallery to worship. Finally, oe mortiing as Alléh and hi~ friehds were
beirig shown to the galléry of the chdrch, the~. church
elder began to pray, at which point Allen. ~ and
his friends. | knelt ~in~ prayer! ~We had ot Jong

beet off our knees; wheti I faised thy rad atid saw.one of

It was then thaf tlie group dramati~ally left the chureh in
a body. Their withdrawal marked the birth of the African
Methodist Epis~opal Charch in 1787 Whith was founded

by' Alien. and~: Absaloni Jones. It was then that Aileh-said: | }
