David Walker

Born in Wilmington, North Carolina, to a free mother and an enslaved father, David Walker moved to Boston in 1827 and sold secondhand clothing, aided fugitive slaves, and worked on his famous pamphlet until his mysterious death in 1830, soon after the publication of the pamphlet's third edition.
