Dive into the remarkable life of Sojourner Truth, a fearless abolitionist, and advocate for civil and women's rights in America. Born into slavery in New York, Truth's journey to freedom in 1826 marked the beginning of her lifelong commitment to fighting injustice. Notably, she became the first black woman to win a case in court against a white man to recover her son.

In 1843, inspired by a divine calling, she renamed herself Sojourner Truth and embarked on a mission to spread hope and truth in the countryside. Her powerful and extemporaneous speech at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in 1851, known as "Ain't I a Woman?", resonated deeply during the Civil War, challenging stereotypes and advocating for equality.

Throughout the war, Truth played a pivotal role in recruiting black troops for the Union Army. Afterward, she tirelessly advocated for land grants for formerly enslaved people, symbolized by the promise of "forty acres and a mule." Her legacy as a champion for women and African Americans endures, inspiring generations to fight for justice and equality.
