LAD #17: "Aint I a Woman"

Sojourner Truth is an African American woman aggravated by prejudice. She expresses that she never had the privilege of being treated with good manners by a man, because she was black. She feels it is unreasonable that she has worked hard all of her life and only received punishment in return. She states that because she is a woman, that does not mean she is less intelligent, and people should treat others with respect regardless of social backgrounds. She concludes by addressing that Jesus came from a woman and God, not from man.
