  • Notes

    • "All on Fire brings to life America’s foremost agitator and abolitionist and establishes Garrison’s long-deserved place next to Abraham Lincoln in the pantheon of nineteenth-century political and moral heroes." "William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) is an authentic American hero who, with a prophet’s power and a propagandist’s skill, forced the nation to confront the most crucial moral issue in its history. For thirty-five years he edited and published The Liberator, a weekly abolitionist newspaper in Boston that remains today a sterling and unrivaled example of crusading journalism in the service of civic idealism." "In this richly textured work, Henry Mayer demonstrates how Garrison inspired two generations of activists - female and male, black and white - to build a social movement that challenged the dominant assumptions of white supremacy and forced change upon a reluctant majority."–BOOK JACKET
