Absolutely. My original denom broke off of white Christians because of their segregated sanctuaries, in 1787. But yes, we have our own music, aesthetics, schools/colleges, etc. The AME Book Concern was one the first Black publishing companies in the country - 1st publication, 1801.

Does the “ME” in AME reflect a merger of two groups?
