Abstract: These volumes trace the black convention movement in the years following the Civil War.
Contents: "The proceedings of the Black State Conventions are arranged chronologically beginning with the national conventions, followed by the states, for each of the given years. Each of the conventions is prefaced by an introduction. Since the number of conventions varied with respect to delegates present, issues debated, and impact, the introductions, accordingly, vary in size. Reference notes for each convention have been placed at the end of the convention. Unless otherwise indicated, all conventions listed in this volume are in pamphlet form" -- Pref.
