This week I am finishing up the life of Sojourner Truth.
As the country prepared for Civil War, Truth continued in her mission of preaching and advocating for what she believed was right. She became a national figure and was able to meet with several sitting presidents.
Truth became a national symbol of abolition, women's suffrage and the ills of slavery. However she was committed to ensuring the betterment of her fellow former slaves and spent her later years working towards that goal.
Listen in as I discuss these and why she, to me, remains an important piece of American history.
