About This Item
Originally a Dutch-speaking slave in New York, Truth escaped to freedom with her infant daughter in 1826. Two years later, she sued her former owner to recover her son and became the first black woman to sue a white man and prevail. After gaining freedom, she would preach about abolition and human right for all. "A legend in her own time, Truth's indomitable will has won her a permanent place in American history. Her evangelic fervor and plain wit helped to advance the causes of emancipation and women's rights" (Blockson 29).
