The Rt. Rev. Jennifer A. Reddall (Bishop of Arizona) celebrates Bishop Richard Allen - Allen was born into slavery in 1760 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Allen, his parents, and his siblings were eventually sold to an owner who allowed them to attend church. However, the church they attended created a segregated section, and in 1787, Jones led black worshippers out of church in protest.
