I agree with the other response. I believe it is 2.
Richard Allen (1760-1831) was a religious minister, educator and write and one of the most important black leaders in America. He was born as a slave, but in 1786 he was already able to purchase his freedom.
In 1816, he founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), as the first independent place where free blacks could worship without suffering racial oppresion or discrimination, and also slaves could join and preserve their dignity using the cult. He aimed to upgrade the social status of the black community. He taught literacy, and he pushed political powers to develop national strategies.
I believe they were called Patriarchs
