The #abolitionist #SojournerTruth gave a famous speech on #ThisDayInHistory in 1851 at the Woman's Rights Convention in Ohio. It is commonly called "Ain't I a Woman?", though this is from an altered version, and asked why #Black #women did not merit the respect given white women.

Back when my daughter, Charlotte Adventure, was about 3 years old, I did a photo series of my daughter portraying important Black [Women] through history.

For a toddler, she ATE THIS UP! Here she is as the great #SojournerTruth, #MadamCJWalker, and #RosaParks

My favorite quotes from Sojourner Truth's  speech published June 12, 1851, in The Anti-Slavery Bugle:

*******

"But the women are coming up blessed be God and a few of the men are coming up with them."

"I am a woman's rights."
