The first African American Methodist minister is often considered to be Richard Allen. He was a former enslaved person who co-founded the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in 1816, which was established to provide a space for African Americans to worship freely and independently of white congregations. Allen's leadership and advocacy were pivotal in the development of the church and the broader African American community in the United States.
