Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research and The Boston Globe are collaborating to resurrect and reimagine The Emancipator, the first abolitionist newspaper in the United States, founded more than 200 years ago. The Emancipator is rooted in history and scholarship, bringing the current landscape of racial inequity and injustice into present-day context. By putting academic expertise into conversation with lived experiences, we showcase missing and underamplified voices — past and present — and what they reveal about the way forward.
