Black History sounds different when the youth tell it. 🖤 This week, our young people at Bryant Temple AME stepped up to teach the story of Richard Allen and Sarah Allen — the founders whose faith, courage, and vision gave birth to what we now know as the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Founded in 1816, the AME Church is the oldest independent Black Christian denomination in the world — built when worshippers were denied dignity, and answered injustice with faith, organization, and community
