    Extractions: Sojourner Truth was born a slave named Isabella about 1797 in Ulster County, New York. Before the age of thirty, she had served three masters, married, and had five children. After obtaining her freedom in 1827, she did not want to carry anything from her life of slavery into her life as a free woman, and so she changed her name from Isabella to Sojourner TruthSojourner because she was going to travel the country and Truth because she was going to carry truth to the people. And carry it she did! Working in the abolitionist movement, her stature, personality, and manner of speech captivated audiences and silenced her opposers. Her famous quote, "Frederick, is God dead?" was a question put to Frederick Douglass after a pessimistic pre-Civil War speech. She also worked for women 's rights. At the Womans Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, in 1851, she stopped opposition with her speech, "Aint I a Woman?"

Her parents were owned by Colonel Charles Ardinburgh, of Ulster county, and she was sold at the age of ten to John J. Dumont. Though she was emancipated by the act of New York which set at liberty in 1817 all slaves over the age of forty, she does not appear to have obtained her freedom until 1827, when she escaped and went to New York city. Subsequently she lived in Northampton, Massachusetts, and in 1851 began to lecture in western New York, accompanied by George Thompson, of England, and other Abolitionists, making her headquarters in Rochester, New York. Subsequently she traveled in various parts of the United States, lecturing on politics, temperance, and women's rights, and for the welfare of her race. She could neither read nor write, but, being nearly six feet in height and possessing a deep and powerful voice, she proved an effective lecturer. She carried with her a book that she called "The Book of Life."

    Extractions: Sojourner Truth (c.1792-1883) - was the adopted name of a woman born in New York who escaped from slavery shortly before mandatory emancipation became law in the state in 1828. Truth was nearly six feet tall and physically powerful from her years of hard labor. She gave this speech - which made her famous at the time it in Akron, Ohio, at a women 's rights meeting in May, 1851. This version includes an introduction a setting of the scene. Sojourner Truth, Mrs. Stowe's "Lybian Sibyl," was present at this Convention. Some of our younger readers may not know that Sojoumer Truth was once a slave in the State of New York, and carries to­day as many marks of the diabolism of slavery, as ever scarred the back of a victim in Mississippi. Though she can neither read nor write, she is a woman of rare intelligence and common­sense on all subjects. She is still living, at Battle Creek, Michigan, though now 110 years old. [ note: In fact at time of publication she was c. 84 years old

    Extractions: Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about? 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? Look at me! Look at my arm! I 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 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? Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

    Extractions: American abolitionist As a black woman, Sojourner Truth was doubly discriminated against in a country founded on the idea of independent rights for all people. Introduction A former slave who had been called Isabella, she chose the name Sojourner Truth because it represented the mission she believed God had given her. She explained in her autobiography, Narrative of Sojourner Truth, "I was to travel up and down the land, showing people their sins, and being a sign unto them." As a black woman, Truth was doubly discriminated against in a country founded on the idea of independent rights for all people. She never learned to read or to write, but became a moving speaker for black freedom and women's rights. While many of her fellow black abolitionists (people who campaigned for the end of slavery) spoke only to blacks, Truth spoke mainly to whites. While they spoke of violent uprisings, she spoke of reason and religious understanding. She was born Isabella Baumfree around 1797 on an estate owned by Dutch settlers in Ulster County in southeast New York. She was the second youngest of the ten or twelve children of James Baumfree and his wife Elizabeth (known as "Mau-Mau Bett"). When her owner died in 1806, Isabella was put up for auction. Over the next few years, she had several owners who treated her poorly. John Dumont purchased her when she was 13, and she worked for him for the next 17 years.

    http://emma.la.asu.edu/TESNEWS/4_VOL/No_3/sojourner_person.html
    
    Extractions: TES NEWS, Volume 4, Number 3, August 1995 by Kelli Mellgren and Ken Edgett, ASU Sojourner Truth was a deeply spiritual antislavery and women's rights activist who traveled widely in New England and the Midwestern U.S. to speak on these issues. She was known for her deep voice, quick wit, and even deeper faith and conviction. She was born Isabella Baumfree around the year 1797 in Ulster County, New York. Her exact date of birth is unknown, because she was born into slavery. She had many different owners, her last was Isaac Van Wagener. About the time she was freed, one of her sons was sold illegally into slavery in Alabama. With much determination and a lawsuit against the man who sold her son, she eventually got him back. Isabella Van Wagener changed her name in 1843 to Sojourner Truth. Answering what she considered to be a calling from God, she joined the Methodist Church and became a traveling evangelist. From then on, she "traveled up and down the land," speaking in many towns in the northeast and midwest on women's rights and against slavery. She supported her travels by selling copies of her book, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth.
