Benjamin Lundy, an American Quaker abolitionist, helps to launch William Lloyd Garrison’s career by persuading him to become co-editor of this abolitionist journal, The Genius of Universal Emancipation, in 1828.
Garrison is soon appointed editor of the National Philanthropist in Boston, Massachusetts, the first American journal to promote legally mandated temperance.
