E-book online - Narrative of Sojourner Truth: A Northern Slave - doooha.com
Sojourner Truth was an African-American abolitionist and
women’s rights activist. Truth was born into slavery in
Swartekill, Ulster County, New York, but escaped with her
infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to
recover her son, she became the first black woman to win such
a case against a white man. Sojourner Truth was named
Isabella Baumfree when she was born. She gave herself the
name Sojourner Truth in 1843. Her best-known
extemporaneous speech on gender inequalities, “Ain’t I a
Woman?”, was delivered in 1851 at the Ohio Women’s Rights
Convention in Akron, Ohio. During the Civil War, Truth
helped recruit black troops for the Union Army; after the war,
she tried unsuccessfully to secure land grants from the federal
government for former slaves.
