Sojourner Truth
❤️
Escaping from slavery in 1826, becoming an abolitionist and committing herself to supporting women’s rights and religious tolerance. Her famous speech, Ain’t I a Woman?, was a call for equal human rights for all, and she spent years afterward traveling the country, preaching and fighting for a better life for women and all African-Americans.
