description: Two famous works in the history of the abolition of slavery: Walker's Appeal, a pamphlet which calls for black pride, demanding the immediate and universal emancipation of the slaves, and defending violent rebellion as a means for the slaves to gain their freedom; and a speech by the first black minister to preach to the United States House of Representatives, who joined the American Anti-Slavery Society and frequently spoke at abolitionist conferences. One of his most famous speeches, Call to Rebellion, was delivered to the National Negro Convention in Buffalo, New York. The speech shared his views that slaves should act for themselves to achieve total emancipation.
