Samuel Emlen Walker (born December 19, 1942)[1] is an American civil liberties, policing, and criminal justice expert.
[4] After orientation/training in Ohio and raising US$500 for bail,[5] for six weeks in the summer of 1964 starting in June 1964, Walker worked as a volunteer, going on door-to-door voter registration drives to encourage African American citizens to register to vote.
[6][7][8] Part of the effort was to highlight the restrictions on voter registration and to establish a non-violent right to organize and empower in the face of institutional terrorism of the Black community in Mississippi.
[13] From 1969 to 1970, Walker was a teaching assistant at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) while earning his master's degree.
