Notable Contributions

Born into slavery as Isabella Baumfree, Sojourner Truth walked away from bondage in 1826. She couldn't read or write — yet she became one of the most powerful voices in 19th-century America, travelling the country as a preacher and activist fighting against slavery and for women's rights. Her speech "Ain't I A Woman?", delivered at the 1851 Women's Rights Convention, cut right to the heart of a world that wanted to ignore Black women entirely. She also recruited Black soldiers into the Union Army during the Civil War and spent her final 26 years in Battle Creek, Michigan, where a magnificent 12-foot bronze statue now stands in her honour.

Honors/Awards

Inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame (1981). Bust installed in the U.S. Capitol (2009) — the first Black woman ever honored there. Named in Smithsonian's 100 Most Significant Americans of All Time (2014)
