he's from wilmington, north carolina. excuse me. his mother was a free black woman. he came to the north in the 1820s. and he settled in boston. he ran a clothing store in the town's black business district. he was a devout churchgoer. so was garrison. garrison is a very devout protestant, knows the bible very well. so was david walker. he's an active member of the methodist church. he's also sympathetic to working-class black people in boston. and he's also willing to help fugitive slaves. if a fugitive slave showed up at his house, walker would of course help them. in 1829 he published a book. and the title was "appeal to the colored citizens of the world." "appeal to the colored citizens of the world." and this was when the word "colored" was still used commonly by black people. didn't have the negative connotation it has today. and in this work walker calls on black people to assist and lead the black community. he believed in the american work ethic. he believes in individual ambition. he believes in protestant values. and he says that black people have to work
