I, Sojourner Truth, have devoted my life to traveling the land as an itinerant preacher, telling the truth and working against injustice. I am an abolitionist and I am working for women rights, and basic human rights as well. As an ex-slave I know the tortures of slavery up-close and personal. I wish to abolish slavery completely to end the misery. In my speeches I wish to let people know about slavery, woman's rigths, the rights of freedom, temperance, prison reform, and the termination of capital punishment.
 * __Objective:__**

Once I started traveling around and preaching I joined the Northampton Association of Education and Industry in Massachusttes. I worked with many abolitionists who strongly opposed slavery and worked for women's rights. when I moved in with one of the founders of the Association she wrote her own book; //The Narrative of Sojourner Truth: A Northern Slave.// In my book I often spoke out about anti-slavery and women's rights while giving my own personal experiences. In that same year I gave one of my most famous speeches with the legendary phrase "Ain't I a Woman."

I greatly enjoy preaching to others about the things that I stand for. I also became involved with the popular Spiritualism religious movement of the time by joining a group called the Progressive Friends.
