Samuel Snowden
Samuel Snowden (born c.1765 - died 1850)〔 was a 19th-century African-American abolitionist and pastor of the May Street Church, one of the first black Methodist churches in Boston, Massachusetts. Under Reverend Snowden's direction from 1818 to 1850, the May Street Church congregation supported the Underground Railroad; members included several prominent abolitionists, such as David Walker from North Carolina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://unionboston.org/about/history )〕 Snowden was born into slavery in the South, but later reached the North and began his career as a pastor.〔
== Pastoral life ==
Prior to 1818, Reverend Snowden served as the pastor of the Chestnut Street Church in Portland, Maine. As the African-American community in the Bromfield Street Methodist Episcopal Church in Boston grew, they petitioned their bishop to establish a separate black Methodist church and to appoint Reverend Snowden as their pastor. While smaller than the prominent First African Baptist Church in Boston, they had a kind of independence.〔
The bishop accepted their petition, and in 1818 he appointed Reverend Snowden as pastor of the newly established May Street Church. With Reverend Snowden at the helm, the May Street Church community grew too large for their facilities, and they built a new church nearby in 1824, the Revere Street Church.〔 Snowden served as pastor until his death in 1850.〔
