Summary
Before she was Sojourner Truth, she was known as Isabella. Born a slave in New York sometime around 1797, she was later sold and separated from her family. Even after she escaped from slavery, she knew her work was not yet done. She traveled and inspired everyone she met, sharing her story until her death in 1883 at age 86.
