jul 29, 1857 - David Walker
Description:
David Walker was an African-American abolitionist, writer and anti-slavery activist. Because he was an abolitionist this meant that he took sympathy and helped the slaves. Some abolitionists spoke and helped some slaves escape on the underground railroad. Though his father was a slave, his mother was free so therefore he was free. David Walker, who sold old clothes in Boston, wrote a pamphlet called Walker’s Appeal, urging blacks to fight for their freedom. This angered the slave owners because it started uproar with the slaves.
