In my humanities class today, my group and I read chapter 24. Chapter 24 is about an African woman named Sojourner Truth, really tall women with allot of pride and dignity. When she heard a men talking about women being weak, Sojourner was really mad, but she claim herself down. But the men kept on talking about it and Sojourner can't take it anymore, so, she quickly disagrees and augured. She said that she was as powerful as men and eats as much too. She also said she have many more hardship that she went through, such as her children being sold out, as she cried. This speech made everyone see to her favor. Sojourner was treated badly when she was a slave before. She has 13 children and she ran away and tried to buy her children back. But her master sold one of her child before she could. It's against the law. So, she went to court and won her child back. Isabella was her real name. She changed her name to celebrate her freedom, she decides to travel around, and speak for truth and justice. When she spoke, people listen. She wore a banner with the word ''proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof'' which is also written in the liberty bell. She was invited to the white house by Abraham Lincoln and she fight for women right and black right.
