Abstract
A brief history of the "Colored Conventions," national meetings of nineteenth-century Black Americans which originated as a response to the limited interest in the lives of Black people evidenced by many white abolitionists. Describes how these conventions laid the groundwork for the civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth century. Notes contributions by Black Mainers such as Reuben Ruby and John Brown Russwurm.
