Truth, Sojourner 1797-1883
Abstract:
Born into slavery in Ulster County, New York, in 1797, the woman named Isabella escaped to freedom in 1826 and adopted the name Sojourner Truth in 1843. Throughout her long life, she was a tireless crusader for human dignity and freedom. How did this illiterate former slave overcome such daunting obstacles to become a mesmerizing orator and celebrated leader?
