Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in about 1797. After escaping to freedom in 1826,
she began working for various political causes and is remembered as a skilled orator. She
addressed audiences across the country for many years, famously calling for equal rights
for women and an end to slavery. During the American Civil War, for instance, she used
her fame to galvanize African American men to enlist in the Union army, urging them to
do their part to fight for slavery's end.
