What remarkable speech did Sojourner Truth give to the Women's Rights Convention?

Sojourner Truth was a an abolitionist and women's rights activist in The United States of America, born Isabella Baumfree in about 1797. She delivered a speech at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio on May 29 1851. The gist of the speech was a plea for similar treatment for African-American women as their white counterparts. The most common version of the speech is entitled "Ain't I a Woman?", after a repeated rhetorical question in it. There's one big problem with this version of the speech: it doesn't match very well with how Ms. Truth actually spoke. The dialect used in this version has many characteristic patterns of an uneducated southern slave, but Truth was born and raised in New York and in fact spoke only Dutch until she was nine; the "I don' know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies" type of dialect in "Ain't I a Woman" doesn't match very well with that, and today it's largely supposed that Frances Gage (one of the organizers of the convention) made it up based on her distorted recollection of what Truth actually said (and on her preconceptions of what a former slave "should" talk like). The Wikipedia page for "Ain't I a Woman" has both Gage's version (published twelve years after the speech itself), and a version that was published in an anti-slavery paper a couple of years after the convention. The broad strokes are similar, but the details are different, and the newspaper version is most likely much closer to the speech Truth really gave: in addition to being closer in time to the speech and more in agreement with accounts of the speech published shortly after the convention, Truth was actually working with the editor of the paper in question at the time that version was published.
