Description

The inspiring story of Sojourner Truth begins as young Isabella is being sold at a slave auction. How did she overcome the crushing difficulties of slavery to become a bold crusader of national renown? Author Anne Rockwell provides the answers in this engaging and authentic narrative of Sojourner Truth's transformation. ALSO INCLUDED: Renee Joshua-Porter performs Sojourner Truth's most famous speech "Ain't I A Woman?", as well as Truth's account of her visit with President Abraham Lincoln. Two hymns are included as well - one that Truth wrote and often sang and her favorite hymn. Great for middle school and family listening too.

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
The power of words, truth, and knowledge are touchstones for Sojourner Truth. In 1843 she is convinced that she should share the story of her previous life of bondage to aid in the fight against slavery. As she walks and speaks throughout the Northeast, her voice becomes eloquent and influential in her quest to "proclaim liberty." Renee Joshua-Porter presents a total package in this recording. Her rich, deep voice gives powerful support to the courage and conviction of Truth's journey. She augments Rockwell's text with Truth's beloved hymns and a performance of her "Ain't I a Woman" speech, set against an aural backdrop of newspaper headlines. The listener comes away with a strong, vivid sense of Sojourner Truth's impact on the world. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
