An Address to Free Colored Americans

The Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women was held in New York City in 1837. The group was made up of women from various backgrounds, including famous figures such as Mary Parker, Lucretia Mott, the Grimke sisters, and Lydia Maria Child. One of the outcomes of the convention was the creation of an address to free colored Americans. This document expressed the group's role in the abolitionist movement and their support for those who were enslaved. The address began with a statement of sympathy for those who were oppressed and enslaved. It was an important moment in the fight against slavery in America.
