@hugo BlueSky!
Have not used this account in a while because I have been on the other non-hellsite. There are so many places to be, and with so many ways to be online again (which is good? imo) or at least to feel like there are, it takes a little like finding the good cushion, the best seat, again.
@colly honestly it’s sent me into a tailspin, it’s just so ridiculously gorgeous (but I am a person who has spent the last couple of weeks looking a braun Rams era clocks on eBay).
@kissane Also following along for interest, I’m visiting colleagues at the centre for architecture next week who for sure have links with Berkeley so happy to ask!

[PERMANENT BETA] THE LURE OF THE IMAGE

‘By changing Truth's words and her dialect to that of a stereotypical southern slave, Frances Gage effectively erased Sojourner’s Dutch heritage and her authentic voice. As well as unintentionally adding to the oversimplification of the American slave culture and furthering the eradication of our nations Northern slave history.’

Why is there more than one version of Sojourner Truth’s famous 1851, “Ain’t I a Woman” speech?

On the misrepresentation of Sojourner Truth’s speech by the white abolitionist Frances Gage, and research to represent Sojourner, her heritage and an accurate portrayal of her words.

Read the most accurate version of Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a woman” speech. And hear it as she would’ve sounded, in her upper New York State low-Dutch accent.  Sojourner Truth’s original “Ain’t I a woman” speech.
