Commemorative print commissioned by the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in commemoration of the nation's centennial and
the church's 160th anniversary. Contains a central portrait of First Bishop Richard Allen surrounded by portraits of ten church

a young African American preacher, possibly Richard Allen, before his small congregation near a hearth and anvil from the

in South Carolina declared illegal by the state in 1835; a marinescape with a group of people welcoming the "First missionaries
to Port-Au-Prince Hayti, Rev. Scipio Beans and Richard Robinson, 1824"; and an 1876 exterior view of the "Book Depository
A.M.E. Church" in Philadelphia.
