 William Seymour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Joseph Seymour (May 2, 1870- September 28, 1922) was an African American minister, and an initiator of the Pentecostal religious movement.
Seymour not only rejected the existing racial barriers in favor of "unity in Christ", he also rejected the then almost-universal barriers to women in any form of church leadership.
Born the son of freed slaves in Centerville, Louisiana, Seymour developed a belief in glossolalia ("speaking in tongues") as a confirmation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

For Seymour, Spirit baptism was fundamentally an anointing from God to evangelize a world in need of Christ.Looking back after a century, a spiritual passion is evident at the Azusa revival, making it what historian Vinson Synan calls an “American Jerusalem,” a beginning place and sending center for the expansion of Christianity.
Invited early in 1906 to pastor a small holiness congregation in Los Angeles, Seymour came preaching a new Pentecostal message: Speaking in tongues was the “Bible evidence” of being baptized in the Spirit, just as it was in the beginning in the book of Acts.
Seymour preached a vision of racial equality where “the color line is washed away in the blood.” In the early days of the renewal, whites, blacks, Latinos and Asians all mingled freely in the mission’s meetings, genuinely countercultural for the times.
