Sojourner Truth Ain't I a Woman?

In 1797, a slave named Isabella was born in New York. After being freed in 1827, she chose the name by which she has been remembered long after her death - Sojourner Truth. Here is a stirring biography of this heroic African-American preacher, abolitionist, and activist for the rights of both blacks and women. Although she couldn't read, Sojourner Truth could quote the Bible word for word, and was a powerful speaker. An imposing six feet tall, with a profound faith in God's love and a deep rich voice, she stirred audiences around the country until her death in 1883.
