Description

This biography of William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), the greatest political agitator, & the preeminent Amer. visionary of the 19th century. For 35 years Garrison edited & published “The Liberator,” a weekly abolitionist newspaper that remains today an unrivaled example of crusading journalism in the service of civic idealism. This work demonstrates how Garrison inspired two generations of activists to build a social movement that challenged the dominant assumptions of white supremacy & forced change upon a reluctant majority. There is an enormous cast of characters including: Stanton, Anthony, Whitman, Thoreau, Stowe, Douglass, Truth, Forten, Turner, Clay, Calhoun, Lincoln, Webster, Adams, & Brown. Illustrations.
