Wraps. Condition: UNSPECIFIED. Includes illustrations. Trifold brochure (6 panels). Portrait of Richard Allen. Further Reading. Promotional material on Smithsonian Outreach Program of performance of The Times of Richard Allen. This program was part of the American Sampler series which was made possible by a grant from the Smithsonian Institution's Educational Outreach Program. Included was a dramatic presentaiton of The Times of Richard Allen by Michael W. Howell and The Songs of Richard Allen (early A.M.E. worship songs). Workshops were led by pianist and composer Evelyn Simpson-Curenton. From Wikipedia: "Richard Allen (February 14, 1760 March 26, 1831) was a minister, educator, and writer, and the founder in 1794 of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), the first independent black denomination in the United States. He opened his first AME church in 1794 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was elected the first bishop of the AME Church in 1816. Allen was one of America's most active and influential black leaders. He focused on organizing a denomination where free blacks could worship without racial oppression and where slaves could find a measure of dignity. He worked to upgrade the social status of the black community, organizing Sabbath schools to teach literacy, and promoting national organizations to develop political strategies. Born into slavery, Allen had no formal education. As a young man in Delaware, he worked to buy his freedom. He went to Philadelphia in 1786, licensed as a Methodist preacher. He belonged for a time to St. George's Methodist Church, but he and his supporters resented its segregation and decided to leave the church. In 1787 he and Absalom Jones founded the Free African Society (FAS), a non-denominational, mutual aid society for blacks in Philadelphia, which particularly helped widows and children. Eventually they each founded independent black congregations in 1794. Richard Allen was born into slavery on February 14, 1760, to Benjamin Chew, a wealthy merchant of Philadelphia. When he was a child, he and his family were sold to Stokeley Sturgis, who had a plantation in Delaware. When Sturgis had financial problems, he sold Richard's mother and three of his five siblings. Allen had an older brother and sister left with him, and the three began to attend meetings of the local Methodist Society, which was welcoming to slaves and free blacks. They were encouraged by their master Sturgis, although he was unconverted. Richard had taught himself to read and write. He joined the Methodists at age 17. He began evangelizing and attracted criticism from local slave owners. Allen and his brother redoubled their efforts for Sturgis so no one could say his slaves did not do well because of religion. Reverend Freeborn Garrettson, who had freed his own slaves in 1775, began to preach in Delaware; he was among many Methodist and Baptist ministers after the American Revolutionary War who encouraged slaveholders to emancipate their people. When Garrettson visited the Sturgis plantation to preach, "Allen's master was touched by this declaration.began to give consideration to the thought that holding slaves was sinful." Sturgis soon was convinced that slavery was wrong, and offered his slaves an opportunity to buy their freedom. Allen performed extra work to earn the money and bought his freedom in 1780, after which changing his name from "Negro Richard" to "Richard Allen". After moving to Philadelphia, Allen met and married Sarah Bass, a freed slave from Virginia. She moved to Philadelphia as a child and the couple met around 1800. She was Allen's second wife. The couple had six children. Bass was highly active in what would become the AME Church, and is called the "Founding Mother". Allen's first wife was named Flora. He and Flora married on October 19, 1790. She worked very closely with him during the his early years of establishing the church from 1787 to 1799. They attended church school and worked together purchasing land, which was event.
