I see the bright light
I wake up at midnight
light from inside me
the reflection was dugout at the
top of the window in the left side.
That’s a frightening unexpected light
and darkness courageous approach but
nevertheless, I did not shrink from looking
the miracles. In this case reflection, it had
an article entitled Allan Richard.
And I just wanted to look closer and
closer. After this moment I started
with this Allen Richard born on February 14, 1760
He was a minster
He was an educator
He was a writer
One of American most active and influential
Black leader. He founded the African Episcopal
Church and the first independent black
denomination in the United States. He opened
his first AME church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This came to my heart through the
Cited scriptures. “The lord was pleased
to strengthen us, and remove all fear from us and
disposed of our hearts to be as useful as possible.”
And this one part of his speech “slavery
is a bitter pill, notwithstanding we had a good master.”
This means that even though slavery was not a goal. Allen had
a good master that treated him well and gave him the opportunity
to buy his freedom. Allen Richard believed that Christianity
and education would save as a foundation for a struggle.
Finally, Allen Richard's contribution will forever be remembered
around the world. He was separated from this world. On March 26/1831
at the age of 71. As I read the last lineSome one came up from behind me.
It was the spirit of shock, I turned around to see it
and upon turning around I woke up from my sleep.
