My Favorite Quote: Sojourner Truth

Posted 03-24-2008 at 12:40 AM by MsJacquiiC
Sojourner Truth - A Real American Hero. Also an Abolitionist, evangelist and feminist...

"Now I hears talkin about de Constitution and de rights of man. I comes up and I takes hold of dis Constitution. It looks mighty big, and I feels for my rights, but der aint any dare. Den I says, God, what ails dis Constitution? He says to me, “Sojourner, dere is a little weasel in it.”

The quote in the picture above - "If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these together ought to be able to turn it back and get it right side up again." - is my favorite quote of all time... This is a woman who spoke so clearly, concisely and with an open honesty & courage that her ideal will be valued till the end of time.
