The “David Walker vs. John Day: Two Nineteenth-Century Free Black Men” lesson consists of two activities where students examine Walker’s views in the Appeal and contrast them to the views of John Day. After reviewing background information and primary sources about the two policies, students will argue for or against the most beneficial policy for nineteenth-century African Americans.
