Sojourner Truth by Artis Lane, 2009
Sojourner Truth was a captivating speaker for abolition and women's rights. In 1850 she spoke at the first national women's rights convention where women demanded full equality with men. Truth also demanded equality with white women. Her bust is displayed in Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center. It is the first statue in the Capitol of an African American woman. |
