Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman?

Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman? | Patricia C McKissack, Pat McKissack

#MayMoms - Matriarch: Sojourner Truth. Why? Because in 1851 she poised herself in full height at a podium during a Women‘s Convention and permeated the air with the question, “Ain‘t I a Woman?” Because she advocated the abolition of slavery and championed civil and women‘s rights to a nation not ready to accord such basic human principles to all of its citizens/inhabitants/peoples.👇🏽

Nute Because she went to court against an enslaving system and popular frame of mind to demand the return of her young son who had been sold into slavery illegally in the south simply as his mother. Because she did all of that and so much more in the nineteenth century when that shit was hard, unnerving and often life-threatening for black folks. Because her work remains undone.
