Scott A M E Zion Church
The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, also known as A.M.E. Zion Church, originated in New York City in 1796 as a reform movement within the Methodist tradition. Founded by black men who sought to address the mistreatment and segregation experienced by black Methodists, the church grew to become a prominent force in the antislavery movement of the 19th century, attracting notable figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Sojourner Truth.
With a rich history rooted in activism and social justice, the A.M.E. Zion Church has been a beacon of reform throughout its existence. From its early days of challenging racial discrimination within the Methodist Episcopal Church to its continued commitment to community outreach and ministry, the A.M.E. Zion Church remains a significant institution in the African American religious landscape.
