The Admirable American for this week is a European-American, male, journalist and abolitionist. William Lloyd Garrison founded the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator in 1831, and the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. Through his writing he advocated the end of slavery, and incorporation of African Americans as full citizens of the United States. After the Civil War, Garrison turned his mighty pen to persuading Americans that women deserved the right to vote.
