It is SUCH a dis/spiriting feeling to see the Colored Conventions in yet another Supreme Court opinion by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. See more: www.coloredconventions.org/about-records/

Concurrence by Justice Jackson with yellow highlights on "delegates erected the political and intellectual scaffolding for the Fourteenth Amendment and, later, for the Black Civil Rights Movement more
generally."

And a footnote that says:

"See Colored Conventions Project, Conventions Records (Feb. 12,

OTD 1967, the Frederick Douglass stamp was issued as part of the Prominent Americans stamp series. Like many people born into enslavement, Douglass didn’t know his actual birthday, which was very difficult for him, and later in his life he chose February 14th to celebrate his birth. #DouglassDay
