Colored National Convention of 1855 The Colored National Convention of 1855 was held at Franklin Hall in Philadelphia on October 16, 17, and 18. It consisted of delegates from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Canada. The delegates ranged from famous African Americans like Frederick Douglass and Mary Ann Shadd to unknowns like Rachel Cliff. There were a handful of female delegates in attendance, although their numbers were incomparable to the number of males. Nonetheless, their presence was striking in an age when women’s rights had barely begun to be realized. In addition, the female delegates’ husbands were not invited to the convention; such independence makes the women’s presence still more remarkable.

Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey;  February 1818  – February 20, 1895) was an African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his dazzling oratory and incisive antislavery writings. In his time, he was described by abolitionists as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been a slave.
