"Richard Allen was born a slave on February 14, 1760, in Philadelphia. The young Allen grew up on a plantation in Delaware. From the very beginning of Allen's life, he strove to buy his freedom. Allen eventually succeeded in doing so as an adult. He moved to Philadelphia, one of the most tolerant of American cities at the time towards African Americans, in 1786. Allen helped form the Free African Society, a service group for blacks, in 1787. (Toppin, 2004)"More papers on Richard Allen:
