Heath Anthology of American LiteratureDavid Walker - Author Page David Walker was born September 28, 1785, in Wilmington, North Carolina—a town which, over a century later, would be the scene of the bloody race riot which forms the basis for Charles Chesnutt’s novel The Marrow of Tradition. The sketchy details of David Walker’s brief life blend inexorably into the history of the 1830s, when a somewhat diffuse anti-slavery sentiment largely taken up with the notion of “colonizing” blacks back to Africa was annealed into an increasingly militant and organized abolitionist movement. But David Walker’s Appeal, coming from within and addressed primarily to the black community, and unprecedented both in its militance and for its extended argument against colonization, was surely a critical ingredient in that process. college.hmco.com /english/lauter/heath/4e/students/author_pages/early_nineteenth/walker_da.html   (854 words)

David Walker (c. 1785 - 1830) Whether Walker was directly influenced by Vesey's ideology or whether the two freedom fighters used a common language to fight for a single cause, the important thing is that David Walker - a free Black man in Charleston, SC, in 1822 - would have felt the reverberations of the Denmark Vesey affair. In Boston, David Walker moved to Brattle Street where he opened a clothing business and quickly became active in the politics and social activism of the Black community. Although it is not known whether Walker was directly involved in the conspiracy, there is a surprising similarity between the rhetoric used by Vesey in his planning of the attack and the rhetoric used by Walker in his Appeal. www.nps.gov /boaf/davidwalker2.htm   (371 words)

David Walker David Walker was born free, of a free mother and slave father, in Wilmington, N.C., on Sept. 28, 1785.
