#PeopleHistory | Today, we remember Sojourner Truth, the trailblazing abolitionist and women's rights activist.
She was an essential figure in the abolitionist movement in the US, and one of her most remembered moments was when she delivered the electrifying "Ain't I a Woman?" speech in 1851 at the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. Her powerful words challenging the entrenched prejudices and racism against Black women rang out as a rallying cry for equality and human dignity.
