1883 – Sojourner Truth Passes Away in Battle Creek, Michigan

Sojourner Truth, renowned abolitionist, women’s rights advocate, and powerful orator, died on this day in Battle Creek, Michigan, at approximately 86 years old. Born into slavery as Isabella Baumfree in New York around 1797, she escaped bondage and dedicated her life to fighting for the freedom and equality of both African Americans and women. Her most famous speech, “Ain’t I a Woman?”, delivered in 1851, remains one of the most iconic declarations of intersectional activism in American history. Truth left a profound legacy as a courageous voice for justice and human dignity.
