The ceremony was held at Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, founded by Allen on Tuesday, February 2, 2016.   Today, Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church stands on the site where Allen converted that old blacksmith’s shop more than two centuries ago. The denomination he founded now boasts more than 2.5 million members. His life — a legacy of determination, uplift, charity and faith — remains an inspiration to all Americans.   View special comments and highlights of the video coverage of the Dedication Service of a Forever Stamp honoring Richard Allen   Click Here: http://uspsvideo.com/shop/video/richard-allen-forver-stamp-unveiling/     TCR Editor’s Comment: We are expecting the release of the full service that was held at Mother Bethel
