In Charleston, the "Colored People's Convention of the State of South Carolina" is meeting

-
The "Colored People's Convention of South Carolina" was one of several such gatherings across the South aimed at mirroring the conventions preparing for new post-Confederate elections to which no African-American representation had been invited.  Around fifty delegates from around South Carolina met for five days at the Zion Church on Calhoun Street in Charleston, gathering at mid-morning on November 21, 1865.  (By John Osborne)
