    Sojourner Truth : She Couldn’t Read… But She Took Down Slavery and Fought for Women’s Rights.

    Born into slavery as Isabella Baumfree, she spoke Dutch as her first language and suffered brutal abuse, sales, and separation from her family. In 1826, she walked into freedom in broad daylight—and in 1828, she did the unthinkable.

From her iconic "Ain't I a Woman?" speech in Akron, Ohio, to advising President Abraham Lincoln and recruiting Black soldiers for the Union Army, Sojourner Truth proved that illiterate did not mean voiceless. ​In this episode, we dive into the unfiltered story of a giant in American history whose voice refused to be silenced.
