“Millions of people will come through and see these and be affected in some of the same ways that we have been.” “We wanted to get it into the hands of people who would really show it,” Fritz says. While the Garrison family had previously donated to the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Boston Public Library, Fritz convinced his three siblings and four cousins, all of whom shared ownership of the items, that the new Smithsonian museum deserved the donation.

Aunque su extremismo no era compartido por todos, él y su creciente grupo de seguidores forzaron al norte a asumir la postura, antes considerada radical, de que la esclavitud era inmoral y antitética de cara a los principios fundacionales del país. Garrison llegó al extremo de afirmar que la Constitución era un documento corrupto por permitir la esclavitud. Pero se negó a retroceder: “No voy a ceder ni una pulgada, ¡y van a oírme!”, escribió en su primer mensaje de saludo en el Liberator. En Boston, su ciudad natal, llegaron casi a lincharlo. Al principio fue una voz solitaria, valiente e impopular. Este impresor y editor experimentó una conversión casi religiosa al abolicionismo hacia 1828 y fundó la Sociedad Antiesclavista Americana en 1833. Nacido en Newburyport, Massachusetts William Lloyd Garrison contribuyó a que el movimiento antiesclavista pasara de mera discusión sobre el fin gradual de la esclavitud a ser una cruzada moral que exigía la “emancipación inmediata y completa”.
