- Summary:
- SOJOURNER TRUTH (Isabella Baumfree) escaped from slavery in New York with her infant child in 1826, renaming herself and dedicating her life to a journey of truth. She became an outspoken abolitionist, women's rights activist and famous orator. She was the first Black woman in the United States to win a court case against a white man, and she is the first African American woman to have a statue in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Writer/Producer Dee Harris-Lawrence was convinced by her young daughter to tell the fascinating story of Sojourner Truth, one of the most respected women of American history.
