3 Dez 1828 Jahr - Court Case Son

Beschreibung:

"Sojourner Truth (c. 1797-1883) made legal history in 1828 becoming the first Black woman to win a legal victory against a white man to secure a family member’s freedom. Truth’s success in securing her son Peter’s freedom shattered legal norms, challenged gender biases, and became a part of U.S. history.

After Sojourner Truth, known as Isabella Van Wagenen at that time, delivered a powerful deposition in court, the judge ruled in her favor declaring that the “boy be delivered into the hands of his mother— having no other master, no other controller, no other conductor, but his mother.”
