African American bishop, community organizer (1852–1920)
John Wesley Alstork (September 1, 1852 – July 23, 1920) was an American religious leader and African-American community organizer. He was a preacher and bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (A.M.E. Zion Church) and is considered one of the most successful bishops of his church, in part due to his skills at organizing national conferences.[1] He also was a trustee at several schools for African-Americans, and a businessman. He lived in Montgomery, Alabama.[2][3]
