Abolitionists

from Loud and Clear by Folkstar

/

about

"Abolitionists" was inspired by a PBS special of the same name. It told the story of a handful of people including William Lloyd Garrison and Angelina Grimké who opposed slavery in the US despite overwhelming majority support for it, including government support. This struggle is very familiar and the sentiment extends to all subordinated groups fighting for their rights today.

You can watch The Abolitionists film online at pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/abolitionists/

"While The Abolitionists focuses on the stories and experiences of five principal characters -- Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Angelina Grimké, John Brown, and Harriet Beecher Stowe -- there were countless other figures who made important contributions to the abolitionist movement. Men and women, black and white, Northerners and Southerners, poor and wealthy, these passionate anti-slavery activists fought body and soul in one of the most important civil rights crusades in American history."
