Sojourner Truth: Women's Rights Activist and Abolitionist

The women's suffrage movement received support from several key abolitionists. One example was the freed slave and antislavery advocate who called herself Sojourner Truth. Through primary sources, images, and engaging narrative, students will learn that in addition to Truth's impassioned battle to end slavery, she also fought for women's rights, speaking to the crowds at suffrage gatherings during the 1850s and until her death.
