RACIAL LEADERS Noted Negroes of the City Who Have Promoted the Welfare of Their Race Philadelphia has not heretofore been wholly neglectful of rewards of merit and memorial distinction for the leaders of the Negro race. Two of the public schols of the city have been named for citizens of that race, Octavius V. Catto and James Forten. But others, eminent among the intellectual leaders of their race, such as Richard Allen, Absalom Jones, Henry Hosier, Cordelia A. Jennings, Fanny Jackson Coffin, James Derham, Robert Purvis, Benjamin Tanner, Paul Cuffe and Daniel A. Paynes, whose lives touched this city at different periods of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, come readinly to mind among those familiar with the achievements of the blacks in Philadelphia. The oldest of them all, in point of chronology, was Ab¬ salom Jones, a Delaware slave, who purchased his freedom during the Revolutionary period, and who, with Richard Allen, another ex-slave, founded the first African Church in Amer¬ ica. But instrumental as Jones was in starting a separate congregation of Negroes, which still evists in the Negro Epis¬ copalian Church on Twelfth Street, below Walnut, Allen be¬ came the best known of the two. The latter was one of Ben¬ jamin Chew's slaves, who succeeded in purchasing his free¬ dom^ and who, after traveling about the country as an itiner¬ ant preacher, served as a teamster during the Revolution. Methodism was fast growing in the Colonies at that time, and when Allen found that the congregation at St. George's Church, which he attended, forced the blacks into the gal¬ leries, he decided to start a church of his own. It was this congregation, known as the Free African Society, which came into existence early in 1787, but which was split subsequently by Allen's withdrawing to start a Methodist meeting in a black¬ smith shop near Sixth and Lombard Streets, while Jones and his followers became members of the Episcopalian denomina¬ tion. From Allen's A. M. E. Zion Church, started under that name in 1800, however, has sprung the host of Negro Zion churches throughout the country. It was in these early Negro Methodist Churches, too, that Henry Hosier, declared by Ben¬ jamin Rush to be "the most eloquent man in America" spoke. Hosier was the body servant of Bishop Coke, and it was said he often attracted greater crowds than Bishop Asbury. Allen and Jones, too, were instrumental in starting the abolition movement among the Negroes. Before the close of the eighteenth century they were at work endeavoring to amleiorate the condition of the enslaved blacks, and in 1800 they petitioned Congress and the Legislature to favor emanci¬ pation. Assisting them in this endeavor was a Philadelphia sailmaker, James Forten, who received his education at the Quaker Free School for Negroes, founded by Anthony Benezet, the French Huguenot, who was the pioneer in Negro educa¬ tion in this locality. Forten was in the front of all movements for the betterment of the race, the chairman of the first con¬ vention of free Negroes held in this city in 1817, actively interested in the colonization projects in Liberia and Sierra Leone, and in 1814 he attested his patriotism by raising 2500 colored volunteers for the protection of the city when it was threatened by invasion. Whittier and William Lloyd Garrison were counted among his close friends, and one of Forten's granddaughters became the wife of the son of another noted Negro leader, Robert Purvis, who was also among the early abolitionists. Purvis was the son of a free colored woman of Charles¬ ton, who was brought to this city by his parents in 1819. In 1833 he was a member of the famous Anti-Slavery Convention held in this city, the only colored singer of its declaration, and in 1852 he was chosen as the chairman of the Vigilance Committee, which became the directing body of the "Under¬ ground Railway" by which slaves were transported through Pennsylvania to freedom. Of him Whittier said, in a descrip¬ tion of the early Anti-Slavery Convention, "I think I have never seen a finer face* and figure, and his manner, words and bearing were in keeping." His son, Dr. Charles B. Purvis, became a noted Negro surgeon in the Civil War, the Surgeon General of the Freedmen's Hospital and an instructor in medi¬ cine at Harvard, Another Philadelphia!!, too, who achieved far earlier fame as a Negro physician was James Derham, born a slave in 1767, and taught to read and write by a kindly master. Purchasing his freedom, Derham moved to New Or¬ leans and there built up a lucrative practice. He was the first physician of his race to attain distinction and received high praise from Dr. Rush for his professional skill. Cuffe, the New England Negro navigator and ship master, whose life also touched Philadelphia a century agp, was one of the active pro¬ moters of the colonization movement, spending liberally of his funds to carry freed blacks to Sierra Leone, and, through con¬ versations and correspondence with Quakers here and in Lon¬ don, doing much to foster that movement. PROMINENT MEN AND WOMEN OF THE RACE Of all the Negroes who have been identified with Philadel¬ phia howe,ver, none have been more intimately concerned with works which last to this day than Cordelia A. Jennings, Fanny Jackson Coffin and Daniei A. Payne. All three were eminent educators and their lives are linked with those of the early Negro benefactors of the eighteenth century, Miss Jennings, who became the first Negro teacher in a Philadelphia public school, being a graduate of that "Institute for Colored Youth," which Richard Humphreys, an ex-slave holder, endowed in 1832 and which, after a short career in Bristol Township, was conducted for a number of years on Lombard Street until it was removed to Cheyney, where it is still active as an indus¬ trial school.. Miss Jennings' mother, Mrs. Mary McFarland Jennings, was a school teacher in Virginia, and her daughter, after conducting a private school for colored children in this city, petitioned to have it accepted as part of the public school system. It is this school, remodeled and reconstructed, which today bears the name of Octavius V. Catto, in memory of a well-known Negro schoolmaster who was killed in an election riot in 1871. Miss Jennings, who married the Reverend Joseph S. Atwell, one of the founders of Crozerville in Liberia, and who became the rector of the richest Negro church in New York City, was also in charge for a time of the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons, located in West Philadelphia, and of the Industrial Home for Working Women, in Germantown. The careers of Bishop Payne and Mrs. Coffin are linked in a dramatic manner. Payne, who became the first president of a Negro college in this country and a bishop of the A. M. E. Church, was born of free parents in Charleston in 1811. An unusual zeal for education characterized his youth. Succes¬ sively working as an apprentice to a shoemaker, a carpenter and a tailor, he studied until midnight and rose at dawn to scan his books before repairing to the bench. He soon started a school of his own with three pupils paying fifty cents a day, enlarging his educational work by degrees and finally leaving Charleston in 1834, when the Legislature for¬ bade Negroes attending school. He! then went to the Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg, working his way there for two years while studying for the ministry, was ordained and became a preacher. Most of his later career as a Methodist Bishop was associated with religious work in the District of Columbia, while honor came later with his selection as president of Wilberforce University at Xenia, Ohio. But from 1840 to 1843 he was in Philadelphia, conducting a private school for Ne¬ groes which enrolled at one! time as many as sixty pupils. It was Payne, who, hearing of Fanny Jackson's ambitious efforts of self-education, when she was a servant in the Newport home of "the Baltimore Calverts," finding one hour a week for study apart from her household work, secured a scholarship at Ober- lin College for this ambitious maid. Born a slave in the city of Washington, Fanny Jackson's Freedom had been purchased in 1850 by her aunt, and before the Civil War was ended she was teaching a mixed class of whites and blacks at Oberlin with signal success. Toward the close of the war she was summoned to Philadelphia to take charge of the female de¬ partment of the institute for colored youth founded by the Quaker Humphreys. After that, her life was identified with Philadelphia. In 1869 she became the principal of the Institute, succeeding Ebenezer D. Bassett when he was appointed Minister to Haiti by President Grant. The Colored Woman's Exchange, the Home, for Girls and Young Women, the establishment of an industrial school, and other works of like nature figured in her local activities for thirty-five years. In 1881 she married Levi J.. Coffin, also an active colored worked in this city, who subsequently was made a bishop of the A. M. E. Church, and in 1900 she accompanied her husband to Cape Town, South A.frica, where she organized a Bethel Institute founded on the principles of Humphreys' school in this city, and to her sur¬ prise is said to have found pupils there who had studied at the Philadelphia institute. Another b:shop of the black race who was-long identified with educational work in this city was the Rev.. Benjamin T. Tanner, a native of Pittsburgh, whose son, Henry Osawa Tanner, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Acad¬ emy of the Fine Arts, is justly rated as one of the noted artists of modern times. Henry Tanner's paintings more than once have won- prizes in Paris and London, where he has been ac¬ claimed ar/ a notable artist, and one of his best known works, "The Annunciation," has found a place in the Wilstach Collec¬ tion in Memorial Hall. Another local member of the race who achieved high honor in his professional and political career was John Stephen Durham, the widely known Negro lawyer and editor, who served the Nation as Consul at San Domingo and Minister to Haiti, as well as an assistant attorney on the United States Spanish Treaty Claims Commission. In addition to-his literary contributions to the Atlantic Monthly and Lippincott's Maga¬ zine, "he also published a novel of Negro life in Haiti. His mental attainments, urbanity and knowledge gained him a wide circle of friends and, both in Cuba and London, where he resided for a while, he was looked to as one of the leaders pf his people.
