Kerry Washington reading a speech by Sojourner Truth
This is a wonderful example of the beginnings of women's fight for equality. Sojourner Truth was a very powerful speaker and great soldier in the fight for African-american and women's rights. In this clip Kerry Washington gives a stirring and, in some instances, funny performance of an 1851 speech by this renowned abolitionist.

I had just read about Sojourner Truth in my history book last night. She not only fought against slavery but also a champion for women's rights. Thank you for sharing that with us.
