Walker, a free Black man and major figure in Boston's early abolitionist circles, published a fiery Appeal in 1829 intended to persuade Black Americans to fight back against their oppression. Dr. Tara Bynum, Assistant Professor of English & African American Studies at the University of Iowa, will speak about Walker's Appeal and the significance of his legacy.
