My name is Sojourner Truth I was born in 1797. Married to Thomas and had a total of five kids. I soon became a

Christian after running away and began preaching. I soon became a feminist and was fighting for women’s rights. I died in 1883.

Fairness for former slaves

Freedom of all slaves

It is 1851 and today I gave my fiery speech about woman’s rights in the state of Ohio. This is one of my many famous speeches, and I am really proud of myself.

May 9, 1867 first annual American equal rights association convention.

I drew the crowd’s attention to the ignored topics of the rights and conditions of former slaves and woman’s rights

I became a feminist in 1844 after I arrived at the

Northampton Association.

My slave owner just told me that in 1827 NY would start to free slaves.

He said that if my husband, kids, and I all worked really hard that he would free us a year before. When it came time to free us he refused forcing me to run away with my infant daughter Sophia.

Good luck to you and your daughter. Try not to get caught!

Today I gave birth to my last child of the five Sophia. I am pleased to say that my family and me have stuck together.
