In the 1928 Summer Olympics, he played five matches as goalkeeper, and no goals were scored against him. Four years later, he played one match against United States as goalkeeper. The American team scored one goal against him, while he was off the field signing autographs (the final score was 24-1 in India's favour, a world record at that time). In the 1936 Summer Olympics he played four matches as goalkeeper. One goal was scored against him. This tally of conceding only two goals over three Olympic games remains an Olympic record to this day.
Richard Allen (February 14, 1760 – March 26, 1831) was a minister, educator, writer, and one of America's most active and influential black leaders. In 1794 he founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), the first independent black denomination in the United States. He opened his first AME church in 1794 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Elected the first bishop of the AME Church in 1816, Allen focused on organizing a denomination where free blacks could worship without racial oppression and where slaves could find a measure of dignity. He worked to upgrade the social status of the black community, organizing Sabbath schools to teach literacy and promoting national organizations to develop political strategies.
Early life and freedom
Richard Allen was born into slavery on February 14, 1760, on the Delaware property of Benjamin Chew. When he was a child Allen and his family were sold to Stokeley Sturgis, who had a plantation in Delaware. When Sturgis had financial problems he sold Richard's mother and three of his five siblings. Allen had an older brother and sister left with him and the three began to attend meetings of the local Methodist Society, which was welcoming to slaves and free blacks. They were encouraged by their master Sturgis, although he was unconverted. Richard taught himself to read and write. He joined the Methodists at age 17. He began evangelizing and attracted criticism from local slave owners. Allen and his brother redoubled their efforts for Sturgis so no one could say his slaves did not do well because of religion.
"[W]e who have been born and nurtured on this soil, we, whose habits, manners, and customs are the same in common with other Americans, can never consent to. . . be the bearers of the redress offered by that Society to that much afflicted."
"This land, which we have watered with our tears and our blood, is now our mother country, and we are well satisfied to stay where wisdom abounds and the gospel is free."
"Whereas our ancestors (not of choice) were the first successful cultivators of the wilds of America, we their descendants feel ourselves entitled to participate in the blessings of her luxuriant soil."
"If you love your children, if you love your country, if you love the God of love, clear your hands from slaves, burden not your children or country with them."
"If you love your children, if you love your country, if you love the God of love, clear your hands from slaves, burden not your children or your country with them."
"The Lord was pleased to strengthen us, and remove all fear from us, and disposed our hearts to be as useful as possible."
"We who have been born and nurtured on this soil, we, whose habits, manners, and customs are the same in common with other Americans, can never consent to - be the bearers of the redress offered by that Society to that much afflicted."
"This land, which we have watered with our tears and our blood, is now our mother country, and we are well satisfied to stay where wisdom abounds and gospel is free."
"The birth mother, my wife and I were friends and we continue to be concerned about her well-being,"
"And why did Tina do this. It bothers me very much because we're dealing with children's lives and not with a price of the children, money on their heads."
The Torchlighters: The Richard Allen Story | Episode 22
Born into slavery in the U.S. before the Revolutionary War, young Richard Allen believes he faces a hopeless future. But after becoming a Christian as a young man and then seeing his master also come to faith, Allen buys his freedom. As a free man, he serves God first as circuit riding preacher and then as a pastor in Philadelphia. Even so, Allen cannot completely leave the injustice of his past behind. When the White senior pastor tells Allen and other Black congregants to “know their place,”—which is in the balcony, away from White parishioners—Reverend Allen must make a decision. How will he stand up for his people? When an epidemic strikes Philadelphia, will he risk his own life to help those who treated him as a second-class citizen? In this episode of The Torchlighters, meet the foun...

Lonesome Curator Episode 44 - Bishop Richard Allen
Founder of the Methodist movement, John Wesley, once called slavery "the scandal of religion, of England, and of human nature.” Nonetheless, in some Methodist churches in the United States, segregation was common practice. African American Methodist preachers would often preach in the evenings to African American audiences who were forced to sit in the balconies. One of these was Richard Allen, of St. George’s Church in Philadelphia—a rising star in Methodist circles. Tired of the continued refusal to provide adequate facilities for African American Methodists, Allen left St. George’s to eventually found the African Episcopal Methodist Church in 1816. Allen passionately campaigned against slavery, and addressed slaveholders, referencing the exodus story from the Bible: “I do not wish to ma...
