Little progress had been made in extending full citizenship to the Black minority. In the nineteenth century, the Black Convention Movement was an attempt to alleviate this social inequity. The National Convention, with its state and local auxiliary societies gave the Black man a sense of identity. In these societies, he obtained a feeling of confidence and self-respect. It brought Northern Blacks together as no other organization did and provided them with an opportunity to arrive at a common perspective of problems and solutions (Foner, 1964: 126). The Convention developed national and local leaders who were to play formidable roles in erasing slave codes and other abuses of human rights. Black leaders from the Chicago area were John Jones, Henry D. Wagoner
