Major leaders in Abolition/Emancipation.

William Garrison founded the anti-slavery society. He also started his own paper called "the liberator". The point of the paper was to immediate emancipation and send important messages.

David Walker convinced blacks to stand up and fight for themselves. He wrote an appeal called "Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World" which was published in 1829.

He escaped his job as a ship caulker and ran away with a free blacks papers. He became sponsored by Garrison as a lecturer and then finally he broke off from Garrison and made his own newspaper.
