Carter G. Woodson: History of the Negro Church: Ch 4 The Independent Church Movement- Revisited

This year I will attempt to get through all of Carter G. Woodson’s (the father of Black History) History of the Negro Church. This post is on Chapter 4 The Independent Church Movement.

In my other post regarding chapter 4, Woodson recognized  Richard Allen as important figure and founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

A few days ago I was watching with Destructo-kid a cartoon history of Richard Allen. I vaguely remembered the name and as Allen’s life story was told, I realized that Woodson had written about him.

This is way more interesting than Woodson’s take.
