I am proud to say that my 13 yr old daughter chose Sojourner Truth as her subject for her report. I read a book about Sojourner Truth’s life, and I must say that this woman definitely deserves recognition. She persevered during an impossible time, sacrificed years of not seeing her daughters and son, fought the court system for her son’s return, sacrificed for his education, shared her experiences by speaking against slavery, spread the word of God, and spoke out on women’s rights, walked miles and miles, and did so with dignity and class.
I would like to say i agree with Valis on this one because Sojourner Truth was a really graet person and every one fails to relize that.
