Sojourner Truth |

 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Sojourner Truth employed her charismatic presence and oratorical skills to speak for the abolition of slavery across the United States. Freed from slavery in 1827, Truth encountered the abolitionist movement in 1843 and became the first black woman to crusade for abolition; she was received by U.S. president Abraham Lincoln in the White House in 1864. | ||||||
