This Wikipedia biography chronicles the life and enduring impact of Sojourner Truth, a prominent 19th-century abolitionist and human rights defender. Born into slavery as Isabella Bomefree, she escaped to freedom in 1826 and notably became the first Black woman to win a legal victory against a white man to recover her son. The text details her transition into a traveling preacher, highlighting her pivotal role in the suffrage movement and her famous "Ain't I a Woman?" address. It further examines her civil war contributions, such as recruiting soldiers for the Union and advocating for land grants for formerly enslaved people. The sources conclude by cataloging her extensive posthumous legacy, ranging from monuments in the U.S. Capitol to the naming of a Mars rover in her honor. Overall, the text serves as a comprehensive record of her journey from bondage to becoming a legendary symbol of justice and equality.
