Description:
(Writer) David Walker was a prominent American abolitionist, writer, and anti-slavery activist known for his publication "An Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World." He played a significant role in promoting black unity and opposing slavery, shedding light on the injustices of the institution. His work generated fear and controversy among pro-slavery advocates, resulting in the implementation of restrictive laws in certain states. Walker's impact endured through his son, Edward G. Walker, who made history as one of the initial black men elected to the Massachusetts State Legislature.
