Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the proceedings of the inaugural convention of California's free colored population in 1855. Faced with legal barriers to their testimony in court, property ownership, and political participation, the convention brought together delegates from 10 counties to discuss a plan for improving their social, moral, and economic conditions in the wake of the Gold Rush. Through resolutions, speeches, and impassioned debate, the delegates outlined a path forward for their community, with a focus on education, economic development, and political activism, all within the existing legal and social constraints of the time. The book provides a firsthand account of the convention's proceedings and offers insights into the legal and social challenges faced by free people of color in the mid-19th century United States. It will be of interest to scholars of African American history, historians of the American West, and anyone interested in the struggle for civil rights in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
