She also fought for womens rights. In her time, the nineteenth century, few would dare say such things, because the people who benefited from these oppressions were the most powerful ( they still are). The whole society was in the very beginning of tearing down slavery, and both women and black people were viewed as lesser. Many used religion to justify the status quo, and by using it to do the opposite, Sojourner Truth managed to speak to people who otherwise would probably have killled her.

I am proud of brave women like Sojourner who fight for these causes nowadays. Agree with you. - Luisa]]> 2020-07-06 18:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marciavilaca/z5720s6cc6cbs0yv/wish/648566049 Luisa Fortes https://padlet.com/marciavilaca/z5720s6cc6cbs0yv/wish/648674404 As a black woman, it was way more challenging for Sojourner than for other people to express her opinion and succeed on fighting for what she wanted, since she had no power and credibility in the eyes of a racist and male chauvinist society. 
That's why when Sojourner started speaking and opposing this system, she was putting her life in risk and struggling for emancipation of slaves and a more equal community.

She missed many opportunities in life because of racism, she struggled hard to be recognized but luckily she did. So daina did a lot of things to spread the fight against racism, speeches all over the country and wrote some books about it. 

Agree!! Ana Alice

Of course she inspired lots of people even these days we live.]]> 2020-07-06 22:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/marciavilaca/z5720s6cc6cbs0yv/wish/648685470 Clara https://padlet.com/marciavilaca/z5720s6cc6cbs0yv/wish/648686263 Sojourner Truth was a powerful black woman that fought against a slavery society and succeeded. Mostly because of her strength and persistence, she brought together Americans who were against the end of the slavery and the power of the woman on the society in a complicated time because she believed on the best of the people and the freedom of everyone. The fight against the segregation and the chase after her family and their freedom was a dangerous path which completely worth it, making many other lives better. Although her chances were not high, the unexpected support of the population helped her to make the victory.

Her activism, strength, grapple and persistence certainly made the difference in many people’s life, mainly the woman and black ones.
