Women’s History Month!

Sojourner Truth was an American abolitionist and activist for African American civil rights and women’s rights. Truth was born into slavery, but escaped in 1828. In 1851, she delivered her most popular speech at the Ohio’s Women’s Rights Convention in Akron. Truth dedicated her life to fighting for a more equal society for African Americans and for women, including abolition, voting rights, and property rights. Currently, there’s a Memorial Plaza at United Way of Summit & Medina that honors Truth and showcases some of her history.
