Free and fugitive blacks came
together in state and national "Colored Conventions"from 1830 until sometime after the Civil War. There, they discussed how to achieve educational, labor and
legal justice for African-Americans. The website coloredconventions.org is digitizing the minutes of those conventions, which include both prominent and long forgotten names. You can view what has been transcribed so far, and also assist with the transcriptions. (source: ResearchBuzz)
