Boston Guardian

Boston Guardian

The Boston Guardian was co-founded by William Monroe Trotter and George Forbes in 1901 at Boston, Massachusetts, and published in the same building that had once housed William Lloyd Garrison’s Liberator. In March, 1901, Trotter helped organize the Boston Literary and Historical Association, a forum for militant race opinion. The first issue of the Guardian appeared in November of that year.

The paper enjoyed broad appeal with readers outside of Massachusetts, featuring news of interest to people of color from across the nation, as well as social notes, church news, sports, and fiction. Within its editorial opinion columns, Trotter often assailed the conservative, accomodationist ideology of Booker T. Washington, founder of the Tuskegee Institute.
