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."

Sojourner Truth, American abolitionist and women's rights activist, USA, 1864
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.
