NOTE: The film, The Abolitionists, also profiles the abolitionist Angelina Grimké. Resource 9, an issue of William Lloyd Garrison's The Liberator, includes a letter correspondence between her and the corresponding secretary of the Female Anti-Slavery Society of Concord, New Hampshire that may be of interest to those looking to research Angelina Grimké.
