Highly recommend this keynote on the Colored Conventions!

Given by Dr. Andre Johnson (@aejohnsonphd.bsky.social) at Mother Bethel AME Church in Philadelphia. Several days of events & programs led by CCP's very own Dr. Denise Burgher. A landmark day!

On this day in 1830, a small group of Black leaders met secretly in Mother Bethel AME Church to plan a new movement of conventions to redeem this country's pledges for liberty.
