After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. She was born Isabelle Baumfree but changed her name to Sojourner Truth in 1843. She gave a speech in 1851 at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. It has been known as “Aint I A Woman?”  She died in her home in Battle Creek Michigan in 1883.
