Sojourner Truth

Born into slavery in New York and freed by state law in 1827, Isabella Baumfree renamed herself Sojourner Truth and set out to preach abolition and women's rights. Her 1851 speech, later titled "Ain't I a Woman?", became a cornerstone of American feminism. She recruited Black troops for the Union Army, met Presidents Lincoln and Grant, and campaigned tirelessly for suffrage and land grants for freedpeople.

“Truth is powerful and it prevails.”
