Unity is the Theme in Miami
Miami Beach, Florida is the site of the Fellowship’s 5th International Convention and A.A.'s 35th Anniversary celebration in July 1970, the keynote of which is the Declaration of Unity: “This we owe to A.A.’s future: To place our common welfare first; to keep our Fellowship united. For on A.A. unity depend our lives, and the lives of those to come.” Attending are 11,000 people from 50 states and 27 countries — as reported by Box 4-5-9, “the biggest assemblage of alcoholics the world has ever seen — all of them sober!” The convention marks Bill Wilson’s last public appearance at an A.A. gathering.
