Sojourner Truth, American Abolitionist

Sojourner Truth (1797 - November 26, 1883) was an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist. She was born into slavery, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom. In 1828, she went to court to recover her son and became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. She gave herself the name Sojourner Truth after she became convinced that God had called her to go into the countryside "testifying the hope that was in her". During the Civil War, she helped recruit black troops for the Union Army. Truth spoke about abolition, women's rights, prison reform, and preached against capital punishment. J. H. Preiter, 1864 (cropped and cleaned).
