The Narrative of Sojourner Truth is an important 19th-century work that tells the tale of one of the most inspirational and well respected African-American and women's rights activists. Additionally the narrative records important events and movements of that time not only in the state of New York, but all of America. With the end of slavery in New York, Truth begins her life which force her to overcome hardships and obstacles, and experience changes in the United States of America that set the pace for 21st-century social norms and expectations. From the illegal sale of her son, her experience with city growth, the rise of African-American spirituality, and movements such as suffrage, Truth's life provides a record that allows us in the 21st-century to research and discover the rebirth of our nation. The Narrative of Sojourner Truth is a work that shows a changing of the United States and, through her life, is able to give us a timeline to research social movements and changes in the nation.
Don't know why it turned out so big...
ReplyDeleteGood job with your presentation! As the class discussed, you have many ideas to elaborate on and combine. I forgot to mention that if need more things to write about along with your section "Life after slavery" you should also talk about life before slavery and during it. I kind of found it useful when structuring what I plan to write about!
