The Remarkable Untold Story of Sojourner Truth.

Sojourner Truth, a prominent figure in American history, challenged the idea of women's inferiority during the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in 1851. Her activism extended beyond this speech, as she met with President Lincoln, advocated for government land grants for freedpeople, and worked for Christianity, abolition, suffrage, and Black freedom movements. Scholars and Truth's descendants are now working to present a more complex and accurate portrayal of her life and contributions. Truth had a complex religious journey that shaped her activism, and her faith allowed her to connect with white Americans who were passionate about social justice. She also advocated for land and reparations for former slaves and focused on issues of old age justice and the mistreatment of Black women household workers. Today, there are memorials and parks dedicated to her throughout the United States, and a new plaza with a statue of Truth is set to open in Akron, Ohio. [Extracted from the article]
