Virginia — the court case that ruled it unconstitutional to make mixed-racial marriage illegal, is such an inspiration to all folks who are/have had to fight for respect in their relationships. Particularly as a black woman in the late 50s/early 60s, she really allowed herself to be vulnerable to so much hate and harm for the sake of equality, human rights, and love 💗

22/02/2024

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), born Isabella Baumfree, was an activist for the rights of African Americans and women. She was born into slavery in New York and her first language was Dutch. She escaped from slavery in 1826. She changed her name in 1843 to Sojourner Truth and set off to travel and preach about the abolition of slavery. She is most famous for her 1851 speech, "Ain't I a Woman?" which was delivered at a women's suffrage conference in Ohio. She gave the speech in response to white women who did not want the women's suffrage movement mixed with abolition. 

Although the term did not exist at the time, we could call her a pioneer of the concept of intersectionality. Nell Irvin Painter wrote, "At a time when most Americans thought of slaves as male and women as white, [Sojourner] Truth embodied a fact that still bears repeating: Among the blacks are women; among the women, there are blacks."
