About this product

Product Information

Archibald Grimke (1849-1930) was an American lawyer, politician and black civil rights activist. He was the son of a white plantation owner and a slave, and was born a slave himself. Aided by his father's abolitionist sisters, he graduated from Lincoln University, and in 1874 attended Harvard Law School. He then practised as a barrister in Boston, campaigning for black civil rights and writing many essays and articles concerning black history. This volume, first published in 1891, contains Grimke's biography of the prominent American abolitionist and social reformer William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879). Grimke discusses Garrison's considerable influence in the campaign for immediate emancipation, providing details on his early life and his position as editor of the leading abolitionist newspaper The Liberator. This sympathetic biography provides valuable insights into Garrison's life and his standing among contemporary civil rights campaigners in the years after emancipation.
