In 1825\, he founded the A.M.E. Church (present-day Allen Chapel) and placed a school inside so that black residents could have a place to worship and receive an education. In 1827\, he opened his own tinsmith shop which made him the first black businessman in the city. Scipio overcame slavery\, racism and disability (he lost a leg as a child) to beat the odds and open doors for many who came after him. His story is inspiring\, powerful and something worth celebrating!\n\nFind additional info on Facebook!\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			Like this:Like Loading...
