Letter: A week of activities for Black History Month
Published on February 13, 2012      Print Version

Dear Sir:

Allen Temple AME Church extends an invitation to all to join us as we celebrate a week of activities for Black History Month starting on Monday, 13 February at 7:00pm nightly. Come and learn the history of the first religious institution that challenged white supremacy (racism). On Tuesday, 14 February, we will celebrate the birth, legacy and life of Richard Allen, the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Bishop Richard Allen was born into slavery on February 14, 1760, and the celebration of Founder's Day is focus upon Richard Allen, whose life had the formula for failure and mediocrity, but he did not let the circumstances of his birth and his station in life, define his reality. In spite of all of the negativity in his life, the economic constraints, and the racial and religious prejudice he experienced, Richard Allen excelled and proved himself to be a leader. He was a leader in the life of colonial Philadelphia, the Free African Society and was the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

All are invited to our Black History Month week of activities 13-17 February at 7:00pm, as we pay tribute to African people in our struggle for ultimate liberation.
