TED-Ed: One of the most "dangerous" men in American history | Keenan Norris

David Walker, a free black man born in the late 18th century, was a radical abolitionist who used his pamphlet, 'Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World,' to advocate for militant action against slavery. His work, smuggled across the US, inspired fear in white officials and galvanized black resistance. Despite the dangers, Walker continued his activism until his death in 1830, likely from tuberculosis. His legacy influenced future black liberation movements and figures like Malcolm X.
