LAD #17: Ain't I a Woman?

Sojourner Truth at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio stating her beliefs on women's rights. She believes it is unfair because she comes from unfair treatment. During this time period, blacks and women were not treated fairly and Truth talks about how nobody has helped her into carriages or over mud puddles. Instead she works on plantations and sees her children separate being sold to slavery. Truth believes that men have no right to treat women poorly because God came from a woman which means they should be capable of treating them fairly.
