Apostle of Liberation: AME Bishop Paul Quinn and the Underground Railroad by Cheryl Janifer LaRoche
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 8.5 MB
Overview: William Paul Quinn’s untold story is a missing piece of American history. His deep but little-known involvement with the Underground Railroad is one of the most fascinating subplots of a remarkable life. More than any other prelate of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, or AME Church, Quinn (1788-1873) guided the faithful throughout the perilous pre-Civil War years, sanctioning escape from slavery while avoiding suspicion and, by all appearances, upholding the law. Quinn helped his followers navigate the hardships of slavery, as well as the demands of freedom in the post-Civil War world.
Apostle of Liberation illuminates Quinn’s significance, demonstrating why his life and courageous efforts deserve more attention—and more appreciation. It also explores, in depth and for the first time, the eight and a half years Quinn spent in New York City. It was during this time that Quinn experienced the major conflict of his life with AME founder Bishop Richard Allen over Quinn’s independent activities in New York. Much to Bishop Allen’s frustration, Quinn—one of the AME Church’s “Four Horsemen”along with Allen—associated with ministers of other denominations, collaborated with the city’s African American civic leaders, rescued freedom seekers, and operated beyond Allen’s reach. Quinn later established a 150-member independent church in the city, earning Allen’s wrath and a five-year exile from the church.
