William Lloyd Garrison was one of the major abolitionist leaders, well known for his operation of the newspaper The Liberator. When he died in 1879, his five children carried on his and his wife's values in the civil rights, peace, and woman suffrage movements, argues Alonso (history, City U. of New York). She draws a portrait of the activities of the five, including editing The Nation, being involved in the women's colleges Barnard and Radcliffe, campaigning for the single tax, working in antiwar movements, and working on ensuring their father's place in history. Equal attention is paid to the youth and education of the children. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
