Mott attended all three national Anti-Slavery Conventions of American Women in 1837, 1838 (the same year Mott became a part of the Non-Resistance Society), and 1839. In the convention of 1838, an angry mob had destroyed the newly opened meeting place, and Mott exited the hall arm-in-arm with other delegates. Afterward, “the mob targeted her home and Black institutions and neighborhoods in Philadelphia. As a friend redirected the mob, Mott waited in her parlor, willing to face her violent opponents,” (Wikipedia.com).
