A guiding principle in Truth’s life was courage.
She made choices throughout her life that reflected her
courage in life as she did not defer to danger or pain. She did not shrink back
but approached it with full force.
She is an example for me of what courageous looks like.
An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

Sometimes being courageous comes when you are at the point where you just can’t take the circumstances anymore. Several times in her life, Sojourner Truth found herself in a place where she made a choice that others would not make.
Sometimes courage is being scared but doing the right thing.
If courageous was a person, Sojourner Truth would be it. She was born enslaved but spent her life fighting for freedom and truth. She faced hard situations but met them with a type of courage that doesn’t happen often.
She freed herself and young child. She went to court to fight for her son’s freedom. After slavery was over, she fought for equal rights for former slaves and women. She was not deterred by the danger or the pain.
The word is courageous. It means not deterred by danger or pain, brave
Sometimes we have to look pass the hard things and walk towards it.
