In 1829, abolitionist David Walker's "Appeal to the Colored People of the World" gained widespread attention, allowing enslaved individuals to envision freedom and advocate for their rights. Lenora Warren, an assistant professor at Cornell University, highlights how this influential text played a role in empowering enslaved individuals to strive for liberation. She suggests that Juneteenth, the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, can be seen as the outcome of efforts such as Walker's appeal.
