= 1. **Biographical information** – Danielle =

== Sojournor Truth was given the name Isabella at her birth. Isabella was born in Ulster County NY in 1797. Isabella was the daughter of slaves and spent her childhood as the abused chattel of several masters. Her first language was Dutch. She later learned English. In 1806 at the age of 9 she was 1st sold away from her family. Between 1810 and 1827 she bore at least five children to a fellow slave named Thomas. ==

== Isabella fled her enslavement with one of her children. A Quaker couple took her in and later "bought her freedom" when she was pursued by her owner. Isabella had to leave her other children behind because they were not legally free, they had to work until their twenties. In 1843 Isabella left New York and adopted the name Sojourner Truth because the word "sojourner" means traveler. For over 40 years she traveled the country speaking as an evangelist and reformer who applied her religious fervour to the abolitionist and women's rights movements. Sojourner truth died in November 26, in 1883. ==

== 3. **Legacy - (noel)** She wrote a book even though she didnt know how to write. The book was published in 1850 and was re-published 5 times before her death. Her book was about her experiences as a slave. ==

4. **Connection to the present – Danielle**
== Illegal Slavery is still happening in Brazil, India and many more places today. Just like back in the time of Sojourner Truth except in her time it was allowed. These are people just like sojourer truth whose goals are to end slavery and illegal slavery. ==

== La esclavitud illegal es una realidad hasta la fecha en Brasil, India y muchos más lugares. Como en aquellos tiempos hay gente hoy dedicada a la meta de parar la esclavitud en todas sus formas. Hay una organizacion que se llama "Anti-Slavery.org." Esa organizacion esta luchando para parar la esclavitud igual a las esfuerzas de Sojournor Truth. ==

= 5. **Inspirational Words** – (noel) //" If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is askin to do it, the men better let them.. Ain't i a woman".//= = //- sojourner truth// = = = =We chose this quote because she was saying how women can handle theirselves. Because of this quote, women now can be anything they want to be. They are just as free as men.= = = =**ARTWORK- danielle**= = = = As you can see, in this picture Sojourner Truth is wearing a shawl on her head. = = She is wearing this because one time she was bought by a Quaker family and they set her free. Once she was free, = = she traveled with one of her children inspiring people. =
