On this day in 1851, it's believed that renowned abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth delivered her famous “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech at The Ohio Woman’s Convention. Truth was born into enslavement in New York, but gained her freedom in 1826 and dedicated her life to fighting for equal rights for all. Today, she is one of the most celebrated human rights crusaders of her time, an inspiration to artists and activists alike, including Faith Ringgold. In her piece, “Coming to Jones Road Part 2: Sojourner Truth Tanka #2: Ain’t I A Woman?” (2010) Ringgold portrays Truth surrounded by her iconic and powerful words. See this work and more in “Faith Ringgold: American People,” on view until June 5! 🔗 Tickets available at the link in bio. #SojournerTruth #AintIAWoman #WomensRights #FaithRinggold @FaithRinggold Faith Ringgold, "Coming to Jones Road Part 2: Sojourner Truth Tanka #2: Ain’t I A Woman?," 2010.
