The Sojourner Truth
A strong mother in history, we honor her with The Sojourner Truth. The American abolitionist and women's rights advocate Sojourner Truth born Isabella Baumfreewas of New York Dutch descent. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, New York, but managed to escape and reach freedom in 1826 together with her little daughter. She was the first black woman to triumph in a similar case against a white man after turning to the legal system in 1828 to get her son back.At the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, in 1851, she spontaneously gave her most well-known speech, "Ain't I a Woman".
