| Summary | “Life of Charles T. Walker, D.D.” by Silas Xavier Floyd is a biography written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the life and achievements of Charles T. Walker, a prominent African American preacher known as “The Black Spurgeon,” who significantly impacted the Black Baptist community and the church in New York City. It highlights Walker's dedication to education, religion, and social justice, presenting not only his personal journey but also his influence within the African American church and society during a vital period in United States history. The opening of the biography introduces Charles T. Walker’s humble beginnings, born into slavery in Georgia just before the end of the Civil War. It explores his early life marked by hardship and loss, particularly the deaths of his parents at a young age. Despite the adversities he faced, including systemic racism and limited educational opportunities, he was determined to pursue a religious calling. The narrative unfolds with details of his conversion and early ministry, setting the stage for a remarkable life of leadership and service that would inspire many within the African American community. The introduction by Robert Stuart MacArthur emphasizes the challenges and importance of biographical writing, underscoring Walker's status as a significant figure whose life story serves to motivate and uplift others.
