Archibald Grimké, born into slavery in South Carolina and later a lawyer and civil rights leader, wrote this 1891 life of the man who founded The Liberator. It traces Garrison from his poor Newburyport boyhood through his call to the antislavery cause, his imprisonment for libel, the mob that dragged him through Boston, and the long campaign that ended with emancipation.
