In 1829, a free Black abolitionist living in Boston published a pamphlet that sent shock waves of terror through slaveholding America. It was a direct and radical challenge to slavery in the U.S. The work was Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World, written by David Walker. Join Professors Matsemela Odom and Thekima Mayasa of Mesa College and Danny Widener of UCSD for a stimulating discussion of the Appeal, its status as the most radical of all anti-slavery documents, and its international call to arms against enslavement and anti-Blackness.
