Sojourner Truth 1851 Speech - Ain't I a Woman?
Sojourner Truth was born a slave in Ulster County, New York. Her name was simply Isabelle. After years of abuse from several different slave owners, she gained her freedom on July 4, 1827. In 1843, Isabelle left her slave name behind and became Sojourner Truth. For the rest of her life, she worked tirelessly to end slavery and to help the many freed blacks who were suffering.
Sojourner Truth gave her famous Ain't I a Woman? speech at the 1851 Woman's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. No formal record of the speech exists, but Frances Gage, a celebrated antislavery fighter and president of the Convention, recalled Sojourner's words. The speech made a great impact at the Convention and has endured as a classic expression of women's rights.
Antiqued parchment paper looks and feels old. The document size is 11 x 14 inches.
