Important American History

Having been raised at Tanner Chapel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Phoenix, Arizona, I grew up knowing about the great Rev. Richard Allen, the founder of the AME Church. However, I did not know many of the struggles and accomplishments of Rev. Allen's life. If you are an AME minister, or lay person, you will want to get your hands on a copy of this book. Unfortunately, it is out of print, and many libraries are deleting it from their volumes. If you can't find it at your local library, the Inter-Library Loan librarian can probably borrow it for you from another library in a few days or weeks. It will be worth the wait! ENJOY! Every AME Church should have a copy of this book! For AME history buffs: See Also Rosa Parks: A Life by Douglas Brinkley
