Isaac Myers was a pioneering African American trade unionist, a co-operative organizer and a caulker from Baltimore, Maryland. Myers was born as a free black, though Maryland was a slave state. Since the state of Maryland did not offer public education for African American youth, Myers had to acquire his early education from a private day school run by Rev. John Fortie. At the age of 16 he began work as a caulker, sealing seams in ships. In the 1850s Myers married Emma V. Morgan, who died in 186
