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)
