truth, sojourner

Sojourner Truth was born into slavery but possessed a mind and a vision that knew no bounds. So Tall Within traces her life from her painful childhood through her remarkable emancipation to her incredible leadership in the movement for rights for both women and African Americans.

"The women's suffrage movement received support from several key abolitionists. One example was the freed slave and antislavery advocate who called herself Sojourner Truth.
