Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World
But in Particular, and Very Expressly, to Those of the United States of America
Book • 1830
Published in 1829, David Walker's 'Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World' is a scathing critique of American slavery and racism.
The pamphlet calls for the immediate abolition of slavery and equal rights for African Americans, criticizing white Christians for their hypocrisy in supporting slavery despite the principles of equality enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.
Walker used underground networks to circulate the pamphlet throughout the South, which alarmed white slave owners and put his life in danger.
The 'Appeal' remains a foundational document in Black political philosophy, advocating for Black self-reliance and the right to defend against oppression by any means necessary.
