The founder of the congregation that became the core for the first Black denomination in the United States was Richard Allen. He established the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in 1816 after breaking away from the Methodist Episcopal Church due to racial discrimination. Allen's leadership and vision provided a space for Black worshippers to practice their faith freely and laid the foundation for the growth of the AME Church as a significant religious institution in the Black community.
