Why did willam lloyd harrison, a white man, devote his professional life to the abolitionist movement?

Garrison co-founded “The Liberator” to espouse his abolitionist views, and in 1832 he organised the New-England Anti-Slavery Society. This society expanded into the American antislavery society which exposed the position that slavery should be immediately abolished. Garrison also emerged as a leading advocate of women’s rights which profits a split in the abolitionist community. In the 1870’s, Garrison became a prominent voice for the women’s suffrage movement.
