SOJOURNER TRUTH

Sojourner Truth, born Isabella Baumfree, was a remarkable speaker and advocate for abolition and women's rights. Fleeing enslavement with one of her children, she transformed her life and became a powerful voice for justice, inspiring future generations. Her legacy highlights the ongoing fight against slavery, both historical and present-day. Famous for her words, "If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back," she remains an enduring symbol of courage and empowerment.
