Kendi, who founded the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University in June, and The Globe‘s new editorial page editor Bina Venkataraman met via email during last summer’s racial protests. On Tuesday, the two announced plans to reimagine historic anti-slavery journals for the modern digital audience.
Inspired by pre-Civil War abolitionist newspapers, the duo is set to launch The Emancipator in the spirit of social reformer William Lloyd Garrison’s legendary The Liberator. (Religious organization Liberty Counsel, best known for engaging in litigation related to Christian values, had trademarked “The Liberator” to title its newsletter.) Kendi and Venkataraman’s The Emancipator is the resurrection of the American Anti-Slavery Society’s leading newspaper that ran for 18 years, which historians believe was the country’s first publication dedicated to abolition.
Expected to start this summer, The Emancipator will become an online platform and microsite of BostonGlobe.com, accessible for free—unlike the newspaper’s main webpage, which requires paid subscription. Backed by both of the big Boston institutions and the pair’s generous seven-figure budget, the joint venture is also seeking philanthropic funding from foundations and individuals.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
