William Lloyd Garrison

To meetthe theme of modern-day abolition with my writing and research, I’m reblogging a post from a few years back. Since my novel centers around two teenage abolitionists in 1860, I wanted to know more about the ideas and practices of some of the major players in the movement, and the popular reception of those ideas.

William Lloyd Garrison has become one of my heroes, and as we fight slavery today, we can learn from and be inspired his passion and conviction, and of others like him.
