Abolitionist and women’s rights activist, Sojourner Truth, brought forth her legacy about fighting for equal rights. She was born as Isabella Baumfree but later changed her name to Sojourner Truth as she embarked on a journey to speak out against slavery and to speak the truth. She delivered speeches about equal rights for African American women and believed that they deserved the same representation as others. She left a legacy of courage, bravery, and a culture of inclusivity.

We continue to reflect on Black History Month and remember Booker T. Washington as an influential African American speaker of his time. He attended the Hampton Institute and later became a teacher after the Civil War. He founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama. His work in the education field helped African Americans gain hope for acceptance and respect within the nation.
