The lines for registration have continued throughout the convention.

In the afternoon Hilary Shelton, the NAACP's Washington Bureau Director, and four members of Congress presented a workshop titled: "Engaging Congress: The NAACP's Legislative Agenda to Achieve One Nation, One Dream." Each of the panelists spoke at length. There was an opportunity for questions from the audience at the end of the workshop. The event went overtime - going for over two and a half hours.

There will be quite a bit on the legislative workshop in later posts.

The first public mass meeting of the convention started after 6:00 p.m. After delegates, observers and guests were seated a large gospel choir sang several numbers.
