Life of Sojourner Truth: Ain't I A Woman (clip)

Despite being born without any advantages and being unable to either read or write, Isabella, self-named Sojourner Truth at age 30, became a famous orator who spoke out against the sins of slavery, and for the rights of women. Told in the voices of those who knew her and were changed by her eloquent words concerning freedom and equality, this dramatization chronicles the major events that led Sojourner Truth to be a force for good, a force that helped change the United States from a slave nation to a free nation. Dramatized interviews include Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Snowe, Abraham Lincoln and her diarist, Olive Gilbert.

"This moving portrait is a useful resource for black and women's studies." — Booklist. An LCA release. Awards: CINE Golden Eagle, National Educational, Catholic Audiovisual, Columbus International Film & Video Festivals, Booklist's Selected Videos for Young Adults. 26 minutes, color.

@djkblackbomber879 HUH? are you well? the africans and the arabs sold us? to the europeans. our people went in to africa to flee from being killed! the africans hate us! if i go to japan does that make me japanese? NO!we had many wars with the Hamites, and Yah told us not to mix with them lest they turn us away from our creator. yes many isrealites had slaves but it was because of debt. please read the bible! you weren't aloud to mistreat your brotheren.

[benjudah71]

people please read your bibles! Yahweh said that we would go into slavery! it's not because of the skin color. but edom fan with that the skin (color thing) Yah said that we would not have a might to stand against our enemies! Yah siad that if we would turn from our wicked ways,he would heal us and hear us! when we cry out to him. It has nothing to do with being strong! but sin. leave these satanic churches.and turn from your evil ways.

What is so sad is that more people know who Nicki Minaj is, but they don't know who Sojourner Truth is.
