Audio introduction by the Author / Researcher / Collector below.
This is a collection of items which appear in
THE LIBERATOR
, a Boston-based Abolitionist newspaper, published under the editorship of William Lloyd Garrison, who lived from 1805?1879.
The assembled items represent only a tiny portion of what appeared in the 1,803 editions of the paper, published weekly from 1831-1865. . The source of the collection has been Garrison’s copies of
THE LIBERATOR
., access to which has been granted and facilitated by the Boston Public Library, ?Rare Books.
Study of the Abolition Movement, led me to William Lloyd Garrison, and a desire to know him better. I want always to learn more about him, and to learn from him. So I was driven to
THE LIBERATOR
., to his own copies of the newspaper, where the privilege of touching and turning those pages has brought many surprises and much inspiration.
