While serving as professor of mathematics at Western Reserve College, he came across the writings of William Lloyd Garrison, and became convinced that slavery should be immediately abolished and that sending Blacks to Africa was cruel and unnecessary. In 1833, Wright became on of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Besides the Anti-Slavery Quarterly, Wright also edited the Emancipator and Human Rights.
