Raised primarily in Merchantville, New Jersey, Walker attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, earning bachelor's degrees in chemistry and physics before attending VUU's seminary school for his Masters of Divinity. During his time at VUU, he married his wife, Theresa Ann Walker née Edwards, who would remain an active partner at his side throughout his life. While in seminary, Walker was the head of the university's Inter-Seminary Movement, where he first met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Walker and King would remain friends until King's assassination in 1968.","After graduating from seminary, Walker was called in 1953 to serve as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia, serving until 1960. During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem. ","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016. He remained in Virginia with his wife until his death at the age of 89 on January 23, 2018.","Processed by Taylor McNeilly and Andrea Kohashi.","Materials in this collection include personal papers and administrative files of Dr. Walker, audio recordings of church services he led primarily at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ, photographs and slides taken by Dr. Walker and his family, honors and awards given to Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. Walker's personal library, Dr. Walker's published books, and other memorabilia and ephemera. Also included is an oral history performed with Dr. Walker and his wife.","Dr. Walker's personal library has been separated from the collection and is housed within the Galvin Rare Book Room.

The community was first listed as the established place, \"Porters,\" on the Green-Peyton Albemarle County Map of  1875 . It retains the name \"Porter's Precinct\" for voting purposes.  ","Porters has a historically Black population, owing to its original settlement, \"Porter's Precinct,\" which was founded by African American communities in the wake of the American Civil War. The predominantly rural community lies at a lower altitude than the surrounding areas of Albemarle County, namely Esmont, which gave rise to early nicknames like \"The Bottom\" or \"Lower Esmont,\" and in some cases, \"Upper Esmont.\" ","Porters and Esmont were established along slate and soapstone quarries, which, along with commercial plantations, made up the majority of the community's economic output. In the early 20th and late 19th centuries, as population increased in the area, businesses, churches, and utilities were established to cater to the growing community along Route 6 (known locally as \"Irish Road\"). These included  mechanics ,  beauticians ,  building contractors ,  doctors  and  nurses , among other professions. ","\"Porter's Precinct\" community members established multiple schools. The first school for African Americans in the Esmont area was established in  1874  and classes were taught by a white man named  John Lane . Notable among the schools was the  B.F. Yancey Elementary School , which opened in  1961  and closed in  2017 . It now exists as the  Yancey School Community Center , which is known for housing some Piedmont Virginia Community College classes and acting as a polling location for the region.  Simpson Park  is located across the street from the Yancey School Community Center. These locations at the geographical center of Porters are important markers of the present community.  ","Benjamin Franklin Yancey  (1870-1915) and his wife,  Harriet Anna Jackson , worked to develop the \"Educational Board of Esmont\" in  1907 , which sought to establish a better school in Esmont by acquiring a contract with Albemarle County, land grants, and teaching licenses for Yancey and his wife. Yancey worked as a teacher at  Black Branch School  in Esmont, Virginia. \"Esmont Colored School\" opened in 1916 as a result of the Board's efforts.","Resource List","Cumbo-Floyd, Andi, and Friends of Esmont.

The community was first listed as the established place, \"Porters,\" on the Green-Peyton Albemarle County Map of  1875 . It retains the name \"Porter's Precinct\" for voting purposes.  ","Porters has a historically Black population, owing to its original settlement, \"Porter's Precinct,\" which was founded by African American communities in the wake of the American Civil War. The predominantly rural community lies at a lower altitude than the surrounding areas of Albemarle County, namely Esmont, which gave rise to early nicknames like \"The Bottom\" or \"Lower Esmont,\" and in some cases, \"Upper Esmont.\" ","Porters and Esmont were established along slate and soapstone quarries, which, along with commercial plantations, made up the majority of the community's economic output. In the early 20th and late 19th centuries, as population increased in the area, businesses, churches, and utilities were established to cater to the growing community along Route 6 (known locally as \"Irish Road\"). These included  mechanics ,  beauticians ,  building contractors ,  doctors  and  nurses , among other professions. ","\"Porter's Precinct\" community members established multiple schools. The first school for African Americans in the Esmont area was established in  1874  and classes were taught by a white man named  John Lane . Notable among the schools was the  B.F. Yancey Elementary School , which opened in  1961  and closed in  2017 . It now exists as the  Yancey School Community Center , which is known for housing some Piedmont Virginia Community College classes and acting as a polling location for the region.  Simpson Park  is located across the street from the Yancey School Community Center. These locations at the geographical center of Porters are important markers of the present community.  ","Benjamin Franklin Yancey  (1870-1915) and his wife,  Harriet Anna Jackson , worked to develop the \"Educational Board of Esmont\" in  1907 , which sought to establish a better school in Esmont by acquiring a contract with Albemarle County, land grants, and teaching licenses for Yancey and his wife. Yancey worked as a teacher at  Black Branch School  in Esmont, Virginia. \"Esmont Colored School\" opened in 1916 as a result of the Board's efforts.","Resource List","Cumbo-Floyd, Andi, and Friends of Esmont.
