William Lloyd Garrison wrote the newspaper called "The Liberator". In August of 1830, Garrison considered publishing "The Liberator". On January 1, 1831 Garrison gave a speech to the public about what was going to be in "The Liberator", the speech was the first article in the newspaper.
" I shall strenuously contend for the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population. In Park-Street Church, on the Fourth of July, 1829, in an address on slavery, I unreflectingly assented to the popular but pernicious doctrine of gradual abolition. I seize this opportunity to make a full and unequivocal recantation, and thus publicly to ask pardon of my God, of my country, and of my brethren the poor slaves, for having uttered a sentiment so full of timidity, injustice, and absurdity."
