Cant quote, but David Walker's Appeal is not only one of the most important texts of the 19th century, but that it was inspired by a long legacy of Black literacy during slavery. With a direct throughline from Gabriel Prosser to Denmark Vesey & Nat Turner. Read Dangerous Learning by Derek Black

Post from @prisonculture.bsky.social

David Walker published An Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World in pamphlet form in 1829. It's one of the most important and influential abolitionist texts in U.S. history. Yet, very few people have actually read it and many people don't know who Walker was especially among young people. book:
