Wendell Phillips (1811-1862) was an "exceptional orator and agitator, advocate and lawyer, writer and debater" who "used these skills to support women's, Native American's, and labor workers' rights, and most influentially, the abolitionist movement."
He knew both Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, and wrote a letter in fierce support of Douglass' autobiography, which is in your edition of the book.
