#ElihuEmbree (1782–1820) was an influential early American abolitionist from Jonesborough, #EastTennessee, best known for publishing The Emancipator, the first newspaper in the United States devoted exclusively to the abolition of slavery.

Born the son of a Quaker minister who moved from Pennsylvania to Tennessee around 1790, Embree initially participated in the iron manufacturing business with his brother Elijah and, like many in his region, was a slave owner in his early adult life.
