Tidbits of WisdomFAMOUS MOTHER
Sojourner Truth 1797-1883 Can't Stop a Mama Bear...
Sojourner Truth gave birth to her children while being held as a slave in New York. In 1826, she escaped with her infant daughter, but had to leave her older children behind. New York was in the process of ending slavery, but she soon found out that her five-year-old son, Peter, had been sent to an Alabama plantation. His sale was illegal because New York's laws forbade the selling of a slave out of state. Soujourner, now a free woman, filed a complaint and raised money for an attorney. Sojourner's actions forced the seller to bring her son back to New York in the spring of 1828. |
