Walkers Appeal, Four Articles. Article One.

David Walker's "Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World" was a radical anti-slavery pamphlet published in 1829. It called for slaves to revolt and fight for their freedom, arguing that they had a right to resist oppression and demanded immediate abolition, not gradualism or colonization according to the University of Victoria. Walker also criticized white Americans for their hypocrisy and racism, highlighting the contradiction between their professed commitment to liberty and their practice of slavery.
