Sojourner Truth was a fearless, revolutionary leader who fought long and hard for the rights of women and blacks. She knew how to take bold and decisive action. After escaping from slavery with one of her two children, she later successfully sued in court to reclaim her son becoming the first black woman in U.S. history to win a case against a white man. She became a daring and tireless advocate for women. What firmly identifies Sojourner Truth as a revolutionary leader was not just her faith that no race nor sex was superior to another, but her courage and ability to conduct herself as such and the way she inspired others to follow in her footsteps.
