Black History Month
Sojourner Truth (1797-1883): An abolitionist, civil and women's right's activist. Ms. Truth was born into slavery, but ran away and successfully sued for the return of her son who was sold illegally into slavery. After moving to New York City, Truth was a charismatic preacher. Inspired by Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony, Truth became a powerful voice for the abolitionist and woman's suffrage movement. In 1851, Sojourner Truth delivered her most famous speech, "Ain't I a Woman," addressing the issues of gender and racial inequality.
