    Sojourner Truth was the TRUTH!!! Ain't I A Woman!!!! great delivery!

    This was great! One of my favorite speeches by Sojourner Truth who had an unshakeable, fervent, rock solid belief in the Living God and that God would help her when no man would - and He did! What a great woman of faith! What a blessed soul! What a WOMAN!!!!

    Thank you for delivering the speech in this manner and not that strange southern dialect Francis Gage re-wrote the speech in 1863....years after it's original delivery in 1851.

      Well, this is actually the Gage version, in which Truth says "thing in the head" and that she has 1 children."

      Kind of annoying when she did not have a southern accent at all. Her first language was Dutch.

    • @Blurb777
      @Blurb777 3 года назад +4

      Cassandra - Exactly! Especially since Dutch was Sojourner Truth's first language, English her second, and she came from New Paltz and Kingston, NY - NOT the south!

    *hi Sojourner Truth! * I was introduced to Sojourner Truth when I was about 10. Forty eight years ago and she keeps showing up all over my life. And now she's here on RUclips which I just discovered myself in January. We're from Michigan.

      The performance here was good, for sure. And it should be read and heard and inspire women.
      It is true, unfortunately,that this isn't what she actually said. It is a case of a white man trampling over a woman of color. It wasn't the first and we know how often it's happened since that.
      Sojourner Truth wasn't from the south-southwest she didn't talk like that. She was from New York and grew up speaking Dutch as her first language. Plus she had 5 children, not 13, and 1 sold into slavery- and she got him back.
      She is one of my heroes since childhood. ❤️😍

  • @sojournertruth2117
    @sojournertruth2117 4 года назад +9

    Love her but unfortunately she is not reciting the correct Sojourner Truth's 1851 Aint I a woman speech. This IS NOT Sojourner Truth’s speech. This is Francis Gage’s 1863 speech. Gage was a privileged white woman who published this speech under Sojourner Truth's name. Hear Sojourner's original and historically correct 1851 speech at @t .Dutch was Sojourner's first language and she never had a southern accent. While this performance of Francis Gage's 1863 speech ( based on Sojourner's authentic 1851 speech) is indeed a great performance, it is an inaccurate portrayal of Sojourner's words and her authentic Dutch heritage. Please visit @t to hear Sojourner's original authentic speech in an Afro Dutch accent.
