The trustee refused and called for
the assistance Of another trustee
to force them up.
It was then that the group
dramatically left the church in q
body. Their withdrawal marked
the birth Of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church in 1887 which
was founded by Allen and Absalom
Jones. It was then that Allen said:
Il soon saw a large field open In
seeking and inStructtng my Afri-
can brethren who had been long
forgotten" The special needs of
his people aroused him 10 action
In their behalf.
During the period 1So1-1SS1, Al
len attained the stature Of q race
leader hitherto not achieved by
any other Negro and thereafter
unequaled until the rise Of Freder-
ick Douglass.
In laying the foundation for q
national denomination, Allen was
founding the first interstate as
ISOLATION Of Negro Americans.
Devout Methodist though he was,
Allen thought in secular terms as
well as religious Both through the
Free African Society and as an
independent pamphleteer, he was
an early and courageous anti
slavery spokesman. He gave his
denomination a decided Abolition
ist orientation from the outset.

HEROES OF
EMANCIPATION
RICHARD ALLEN
Founder Of AME Church

This land, which we have wat
cred with our tears and our blood,
is now our mother country" wrote
Bishop Richard Allen on Novem-
ber 2, 1927, in FREEDOMS
JOURNAL, the first newspaper
published by Negroes in this coun-
try. Allen was born on February
IA, 1760, the slave of Benjamin
Chew in Philadelphia, but very
soon thereafter he was sold with
his whole family to a planter hv-
ing in Dover, Delaware, where he
grew to manhood.
He was converted to Christiani-
ty in 1777 and began his career as
a minister three years later. Moved
by the force of Aliens preaching
his master permitted him to con-
duct prayers and to preach in his
house and became one of Aliens
first converts. 1t was at this point
that the planter became convinced
that slavery was wrong and per-
mitted Allen and his other slaves
to obtain their freedom.
After securing his freedom, AL
len Travelled with Richard Watcoat,
a white Methodist minister. Bis
hop Francis Asbury also gave him
assignments to preach and in 1876,
upon coming to Philadelphia, he
was invited to speak at the st.
George M n o dist Episcopal
Church and various other white
churches in the city.
At first the young clergyman
thought he would be at ease in
the white peoples church, but the
problems which faced him became
increasingly difficult. He preached
with such power that he attracted
50 many Of his people which caused
the church to send Negroes to the
gallery 10 worship.
Finally, one morning as Allen
and his friends were being shown
10 the gallery Of the church, the
church elder began to pray at
which point Allen and his friends
lnelt in prayer. I'VE had not long
been on our knees, when I raised
my head and saw one Of the trus-
tees pulling the Reverend Absalom
Jones off his knees" reported Al

Fischer, president Of Columbia's s

schools must take positive action
to bring Negro children into the
mainstream Of American cultural
activity" And in California, the
state supreme court in June came

The ideal Indignation situation,
says PsychiatriSt Robert Coles,
after studying Southern schools, Is
apparently a Rdddle-class school
with diverse ethndc groups and
high teaching standards. In a
Forthcoming report, sponsored by
the Southern Regional Council and
the Anti-Defamation League Of

children mix naturally, ignoring
adult tensions. Teen-agers take
longer, but in the course Of a year

AS for standards, both races gen.

Coles: 1--WE have yet to hear a
Southern teacher complain Of any
drop in intellectual or moral eli

school,"
While the pressures for integra-
tion bring a troublesome measure
of controversy, reaction and dis
illusionment, 1t Is a fact that every

trary - is likely to improve the

Big City Problems. While small
Northern cities may attack the
situation in the manner Of New
Rochelle, big cities. with miles Of
Negro gheUtOes, have problems
that range UP 10 hopeless. WASH
ington, where even the most civil
righteous New Frontaersmen are
prone to send their children to
private schools, can hardly give
classes q deSegregated look when
85% Of public school students are
Negro. Chicago, Boston and Phil
adelphia are marking time. A
measure Of New York's quandary
is that some integration crusaders
have proposed mass transfer Of
whites into Harlem schools, al
though few officials see 1t as
workable solution.
Nonetheless, the nations biggest
city school system is also the most
enterprising. New York is trying
TO make slum schools so good that
Negroes can rise more easily into
an integrated society. 1t devised
the famed Higher Horizons pro-
gram, heavy on culture and coun-
selling, which now involves "a, 900
students in 76 schools. AT state
level, New York's Commissioner
of Education James e. Allen, Jr.,
recently requested school boards
to report by September ON what
steps they intend to take to bal
ance schools with more than 50%
Negro enrolment.
In the minds Of Negro pupils
and parents" says New Jerseys
State Commissioner Of Education
Frederick M. Raubinger, "a stig-
ma is attached to attending a
school whose enrolment Is COM
pletely or exclusively Negro, and
this sense of sting and resulting
feeling Of inferiority has an un-
desirable effect on attitudes re-
lated to successful training"
Raubinger has issued orders to
end de facto segregation in three
New Jersey communities. In the
