About William Lloyd Garrison


William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1872) was a "prominent American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer. He is best known as the editor of the radical abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator, and as one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society."

He knew Frederick Douglass well, and wrote the preface for his autobiography (also in your edition of the book).
