What is the difference between Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks?

Answer 1

Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks were both African American women and leaders in their communities, but they were born in different centuries to very different circumstances.

Sojourner Truth was an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, New York approximately 1797. Her best-known speech, Ain't I a Woman?, was delivered in 1851 at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio.

Rosa Parks (February 4, 1913 - October 24, 2005) was an African American civil rights activist, who inspired the Birmingham Bus Boycott of 1955. The U.S. Congress later called her "the first lady of civil rights", and "the mother of the freedom movement".

Answer 2

Sojourner Truth was a prominent abolitionist and women's rights activist in the 19th century, known for her powerful speeches and writings on equality and injustice. Rosa Parks was a civil rights activist in the 20th century, famous for her refusal to give up her seat on a segregated bus, which sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a symbol of the Civil Rights Movement. Both women made significant contributions to the fight for equality, but in different time periods and contexts.
