These included leading civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jnr and more radical black activists such as Angela Davis and Malcolm X.

Congress participants adopted an appeal to the King of England demanding the lifting of trade restrictions and taxation of the colonies without the consent of their representatives. The First Continental Congress called on the colonists to boycott British goods and begin preparations for a possible war.

The Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution on the formation of each colony's own government (May 10, 1776), as well as the Declaration of Independence of the United States in 1776. By decision of the Second Continental Congress, the Continental Army was created under the command of Washington.
