Sojourner Truth (l. c. 1797-1883) was an African American abolitionist, women's suffrage advocate, and civil rights activist who famously "walked away" from slavery in 1826, sued in court for the return of her son and, between 1843 and her death in 1883, became one of the most popular lecturers and preachers in the United States. whe.to/ci/1-24323-en/

Today in Labor History November 26, 1883: Abolitionist, women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth died on this date in Battle Creek, Michigan. She escaped slavery in 1826, with her infant daughter, and then sued her former master in 1828 to win the freedom of her son. She won the lawsuit, making her the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. She had grown up in New York, with Dutch as her first language. However, she became a powerful public speaker in English. In 1851, she gave her “Ain’t I a Woman” speech to the Ohio Women's Rights Convention. During the Civil War, she helped recruit black soldiers into the Union Army.

She had at least 10 siblings but hardly got a chance to get to know them before they were sold. She herself was sold at the age of nine, at an auction with a flock of Sheep for $100. She would be sold twice more over the next two years.

Susan B. Anthony is the suffragist who gets the attention, but I most admire Dr. Alice Stokes Paul, Sojourner Truth, & Lucretia Coffin Mott. They have my gratitude when I vote. I encourage learning about these remarkable women; this post focuses on Alice Paul, who died in 1977 (when I was in high school!) Learn about her at these websites:

Die #Olympiade mit dieser Obsession, zu entscheiden, wer und wie eine Frau ist, ist ein guter Moment, an #SojournerTruth zu erinnern.

Gerade wenn es doch nicht das erste Mal war, dass das eine Frau betrifft, die nicht weiß ist.

"That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place!

And ain't I a woman?"

Sojourner Truth

@nobody Definitiv "All lives matter"-Vibes!
Fiel dir auf, dass unter den getöteten Menschen keine einzige weiße Frau ist?
Zur Intersektionalität möchte ich Dir die erste Person ans Herz legen, die das Konzept inhaltlich öffentlich mit "Ain't I a woman" angesprochen hat.
Und zu "Reduzierung" möchte ich die wunderbare Audre Lorde zitieren: "There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives."

"And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I could have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me!
And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man- when I could get it- and bear the lash as well!
And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen them most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me!
And ain't I a woman?"

@CarveHerName A source for the words by #SojournerTruth
(spoken at the First Annual Meeting of the American Equal Rights
Association - May 9, 1867):

> I feel that if I have to answer for the deeds done in my body just as
> much as a man, I have a right to have just as much as a man. There is
> a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word
> about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not
> colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the
> women, and it will be just as bad as it was before.
