The African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) is the largest and oldest of the Black Methodists bodies in the United States. Even among other Black protestant denominations, it has had the longest and broadest reach across the transatlantic in terms of touching persons of African descent. This film traces the legacy of Bishop Richard Allen, founder of the AME, in the African continent, the Caribbean and its place of origin, Philadelphia.
Moderated by Julia Roth
