Religious Figure. Rev. William Seymour was an important religious leader and sometimes called "the most influential black leader in American religious history." Seymour, along with Charles Parham, could well be called the "co-founders" of world pentecostalism. In the early 1900's, Seymour founded the Azusa Street Church in Los Angeles. A huge movement grew from there, and is still strong today. Today, practically all Pentecostal and charismatic movements can trace their roots directly or indirectly to the humble mission on Azusa Street and its pastor.
