"Sojourner Truth: Voice of Freedom" by Kathleen Kudlinski tells the inspiring story of Sojourner Truth, a former enslaved woman who became a powerful advocate for abolition and women's rights. Born into slavery, Truth escapes and transforms her life into one of public speaking, where she challenges societal norms and fights for equality. With her unwavering belief in justice, she uses her personal experiences to inspire others, becoming a symbol of strength and resilience. Through her famous speeches, particularly "Ain't I a Woman?", Truth's voice echoes the struggles and triumphs of marginalized communities, making her an enduring figure in American history.

Sojourner Truth
Almost 100 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat, Sojourner Truth was mistreated by a streetcar conductor. She took him to court and won. Before she was Sojourner Truth, she was known simply as Belle. Born a slave in New York sometime around 1797, she was later sold and separated from her family. Even after she escaped from slavery, she knew her work was not yet done. She changed her name and travelled, inspiring everyone she met and sharing her story until her death in 1883 at age eighty-six.
