Sojourner Truth
If I remember it correctly she is trying to show how hypocritical the women are at the women rights convention that she is at. The women wanted all people to have equal rights, men said no because women are inferior in their opinion. As a women, Sojourner Truth was also there to fight for women's rights. she gets up to speak, but the women then get mad at her and try to silence her because she is a BLACK woman and black people shouldn't have rights. it's ironic because the women are doing to Sojourner exactly what the men are doing to them. Men won't let women have rights, women get upset because it's unfair to not let someone have rights just because they are a different gender. But then women won't let sojourner have rights just because of her skin color. "Aren't I a woman too? shouldn't I be able to fight for woman's rights? I thought we were all on the same page here.." -basically Sojourner Truth
He who does not exist cannot speak and therefore cannot answer.
Charming, or a con artist ,depending on his sincerity .

It is impossible to determine the exact number of people who listened to Sojourner Truth speak. However, she was a renowned public speaker and abolitionist who drew large crowds to her lectures and speeches across the United States.
Sojourner Truth changed her name to reflect her spiritual journey and her calling to speak the truth. She felt that her original name held ties to her enslaved past and wanted a name that reflected her new identity as a free woman advocating for justice and equality.
Mae Jamison. Sojourner Truth was a former slave in 1860. Mae Jamison was the first African American woman in space. She was keynote speaker at my doctoral graduation and I was able to speak with her for a few minutes. A very impressive woman.
