Body of black Baptists organized at Saint Louis, Missouri, 1886; the Colored Free Will Baptists and Primitive Colored Baptists are included in this convention. The purpose of the organization was
"to consider the moral, intellectual, and religious growth of the denomination, to deliberate upon the great questions which characterized the Baptist churches, and further, to advise and consider the best methods possible for bringing us more closely together as churches and as a race."
