Anti-Slavery Reporter

rdf:langString Anti-Slavery Reporter

rdf:langString The Anti-Slavery Reporter was founded in London in 1825 as the Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter by Zachary Macaulay (1768–1838), a Scottish philanthropist who devoted most of his life to the anti-slavery movement. It was also referred to as the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Reporter, and in 1909 merged with the Aborigines' Friend to form the Anti-Slavery Reporter and Aborigines' Friend. From 1981 the journal was again renamed the Anti-Slavery Reporter, and as a publication of Anti-Slavery International continued to be published occasionally as simply Reporter. Under Macaulay and its subsequent editors, the journal campaigned vigorously for the abolition of slavery throughout the world in the late 19th century. Later, it focused more on various forms of modern slavery. It was initially published by the anti-slavery organisation founded in 1823 as the Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions, but after this wound up in 1838, came under the auspices of and published the Annual Reports of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (now known as Anti-Slavery International.)
