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.

Publishing videos and pics...etc

Well I need to figure out how to put a visual video or pic up!!! On this page while I type  I see where there is an area to put a link, but does that just put a link for other veiwers to click on or would it actually put it on our blog? That is the question...So that shall be our next question in class I suppose. If anyone else knows, let me know.
