Months before his promised emancipation at the age of 21, his owners died and he became the property of Nathaniel Jennison, a cruel and violent man. Educated by the next generation of Caldwells who were now all abolitionists, in 1781 Kwaku Walker sued his owner for his freedom, basing his legal case upon the newly passed Massachusetts state constitution which guaranteed that all men are created free and equal.
