Описание:

Sojourner Truth was born a slave in New York but escaped in 1826. In 1828 she successfully sued a white man to free her son, becoming the first black person to do so. Truth became a vehement advocate of black and women's rights, and was best known for her speech titled "Ain't I a Woman?" which talked about how she overcame significant obstacles that many men would struggle with, despite being a woman. Through this speech and her other actions she supported the women's rights movement. (Effect: women's rights movement bolstered and validated by more people)
