REVEREND KING’S HOUSE. The African Methodist Episcopal denomination was founded in 1787 by Richard Allen in Philadelphia. During the early 19th century, some African American Cincinnatians worshiped at the white Methodist Episcopal churches but were discriminated against with much vigor and contempt. After a brief meeting, Rev. James King and Rev. Phillip Brodie decided they could no longer tolerate the prejudicial treatment they had received and founded a new and separate church in 1824.
