In 1963, civil rights leaders met at Dorchester Academy to plan the famed march on Birmingham. More than a half century later, an estimated 300-400 civil rights leaders from around Georgia will again meet at Dorchester when the state National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples convenes Friday and Saturday in Liberty County for the group’s quarterly leadership conference. Liberty County NAACP Branch President and First District Coordinator Graylan Quarterman said the two-day conference is geared toward training newer officers and helping members find solutions to problems they face.
