Just want Sojourner Truth?
Hello. My name is Sojourner Truth. But when I was a little girl, my name was Isabella. I was born a long, long time ago, around the year 1797. My family and I were not free. We had to work very hard for other people. We could not choose what we wanted to do, and that was a very hard way to live.
I knew in my heart that it wasn't right for people to be owned. In 1826, I decided to do a very brave thing. I escaped to find my freedom. I felt a calling in my heart to travel and tell everyone the truth about being fair. So, in 1843, I changed my name to Sojourner Truth. My new name meant I was a traveling truth-teller, and that is what I wanted to be.
I spent the rest of my life traveling and giving speeches. I used my big, strong voice to speak up for people who couldn't. I wanted everyone to be treated with kindness. I lived to be about 86 years old. People remember me for being brave and speaking the truth. My story still helps people remember to be kind and fair to everyone.
