That's amazing thank you for commenting! He also built the first AME church ever right here in Philly, I want to visit the site but I can't find any info where it was.
@@goodjawn610 I’m planning to go next month for my birthday... I’ve been reading about him for years now ... he has a stamp , an episode on the history channel, I went to a HBCU and my professor brought him up in class! My mother’s maiden name is legit Allen ... I traced him all the way back to my moms town she grew up in ! I learned about Richard Allen here in Texas at my granny house ... He Started The AME Methodist church , Yes! ... and he Chose his last name “Allen” it wasn’t his slave masters surname ... his former slavers last names were Chew and Stirgley ... and it’s said that Grandfather Richard was the first officially filed Manumission papers (emancipation/freedom papers) ... making him the first legit free black from slavery ... He’s supposed to have a museum up there ! I want to see it all ... I had no clue that he had schools and housing project named after him ... I heard an African history lecturer speak on being from “Richard Allen city” and I was like , “is he talking about Papa?” Lol ... so I looked it up and found this video ... this is dope
@@slowpxtmsom it's crazy you found me that way cause I just started this channel about 2 months ago and this was one of my first stops. Thank you for all the history I had no idea, I only knew he started AME. I'm glad my content is serving a purpose. Sub the channel stay in touch, thanks for tapping in!
I've wondered for years why there was never any photos of the 2 high-rise towers at Richard Allen homes till I recently discovered the towers were the "Cambridge" homes on 11th but they shared the same parcel of land.
Man the old Richard Allen not to be fucked with. I ran in Philly I am from nyc but if you around that area who remember the bar north Philly the Tropicana
Lil Willow - Resident from 1958 - 1969. 812a Alder Place. Wow, changed a lot and from what I was told it needed to. Shot out to all my childhood friends. 😊
Look me up on Facebook I've posted a segment on Richard Allen about my wonderful memories of these dwellings. 🥰 Hopefully I can get some old childhood friends to respond.
@@cherylchale28 Remember the 9th street playground with the swings, the popular merry-go-round, swimming pool, baseball diamond and the section for little kids? Last time I visited I only seen a basketball court. That's all that remains.
Much appreciated, I will! I have a big family in Nassau around Valley Stream and Hempstead so Ill be in all the spots up there as soon as I can make the trip, stay tuned 💪💪💪
This bring back the days when I would visit my cousin (cash) over here. I graduated from Mercy Tech that's right across the bridge from this historic place
Whoever did this joint didn't ride through the whole project what happened to 12st And The Rest Of 11th St. I'm just saying if you going to do the project do the whole projects.
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc no I'm from Zone 6 in Atlanta GA. But since I grew up in some bad apartments I've always been fascinated with other city's projects/bad apartment complexes all over America.

I'm working on a documentary there so I'll make sure to get a better look. And it goes all the way down to 13th St right?
The legendary Bill Cosby brought me here.
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc thanks for the info.

Ugly 90's urban planning when they tried to suburbanize Nort Philly. Those new homes are so ugly and out of place. The neighborhood is desolate.
