Walker’s Appeal, in Four Articles; Together with a Preamble,
to the Coloured Citizens of the World, but in Particular, and Very Expressly, to Those of
the United States of America, Written in Boston, State of Massachusetts, September 28, 1829.
David Walker settled in Boston after escaping his enslaved life in Wilmington, North Carolina. After writing this pamphlet, Southern authorities demanded the Boston mayor to arrest Walker. The mayor refused.
Unfortunately the mayor’s refusal did not spare Walker’s life. Walker died a “mysterious death” in 1830.
This online version of the original pamphlet is part of the Documenting the American South project.
