1 Mai 1816 Jahr - Black Christianity

Beschreibung:

Free African Americans in the North embraced the 2ndGreat Awakening and the concepts of equality in the eyes of god as a justification for their desired social mobility. As African Americans gained greater control over their religious needs, society saw the continued emergence of black churches including the introduction of African Methodist Episcopal (AME) churches in 1816 by the Reverend Richard Allen and other ministers. Due to their ability to control this new environment, these religious centers became the political, social, and cultural centers of African Americans.
