The Emancipator

The Emancipator is an award-winning digital magazine that reimagines the nation’s first abolitionist newspapers for a new day. Our mission, like those who came before us, is to turn public opinion against racist policies and ideas. Through multimedia content, commentary and events nationwide, we explain and explore solutions to racial inequality in all aspects of life. Our stories expose the history, harms and pervasiveness of racism in America and explore solutions for its abolition. From health disparities and the wealth gap to climate inequality and police violence, we are unpacking and confronting the biggest racial justice issues of our time. The Emancipator is a digital magazine housed within Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research.
