David Walker The Most Radical Antislavery Analysis

David Walker, who wrote the most radical antislavery manifesto in history,

writes, “They want us for their slaves, and they think nothing of murdering us.”

Walker’s words were written in the 1800’s, but their influence is never going to be

forgotten. His statement was like a urgent call for the brutal reality of racism and

slavery in America before it was abolished and a demand to put an end to this

cruelty. Speaking about this, slavery in America began when the first African slaves

were brought to the North American colony of Virginia in 1619 and was practiced

throughout the American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries. Nowadays, people

would prefer to think that slavery does not exist anymore, but in fact, slavery still
exists all over the World, just in different forms.
