Excerpt from Proceedings of the State Equal Rights' Convention, of the Colored People of Pennsylvania, Held in the City of Harrisburg, February 8th, 9th, and 10th, 1865: Together With a Few of the Arguments Presented Suggesting the Necessity for Holding the Convention, and an Address of the Colored State Convention to the People of Pennsylvania
In the final months of the Civil War, Northern blacks articulated their demands for full equality and convened to make known their views. In Pennsylvania, seventy-one highly capable men met in Harrisburg to spell out a program whose main theme was equal rights for blacks who contributed more soldiers to the Union Army than the combined number of any two states. In addition, the delegates at Harrisburg appealed again to the legislature to restore to black Pennsylvanians the right to vote.
