William Lloyd Garrison 1805–1879
View through CrossRef
William Lloyd Garrison was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, on December 10, 1805. From his teens he worked in the newspaper-publishing business. Then, in 1831, he published the first issue of his Boston newspaper, the Liberator, which until the end of 1865 served as his personal vehicle for broadcasting his many controversial opinions, most notably that slavery must be immediately abolished and that people of all skin colors must be treated as equals. In 1833 he played a major role in the establishment of the American Anti-Slavery Society, which for the first time united black and white reformers of both genders in support of programs of mass agitation to promote immediate abolition and racial equality.
