William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), American journalist and social reformer, was the founder and publisher of the famous anti-slavery journal, The Liberator. The newspaper was published in Boston from 1831 through 1865 with the purpose of educating people about the horrors of slavery. When the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution passed, Garrison ceased publication. One of the founding members of the Anti-Slavery Society, Garrison worked closely with individuals such as Frederick Douglass, Gerrit Smith, and Wendell Phillips. Later in life, he became a prominent voice for the women's suffrage movement.
