Episode 11: Sojourner Truth
from Empire State History Hosted by Steven Caselli
Join me after a long hiatus for an episode dedicated to Sojourner Truth. Truth was an abolitionist, pioneer of women's rights, preacher, Union Army recruiter and wore many other hats during her time. Her roots are right here in Ulster County NY in the heart of the Hudson Valley. In this episode I do a whirlwind biographical history of Sojourner Truth, of course followed by my usual tips on how to get out and visit the historic sites in our area. Here is a link to the full text of Truth's most famous speech "Ain't I a Woman" which I read during the show, https://www.nps.gov/articles/sojourner-truth.htm . Most of the sites I discuss during the show don't have dedicated web pages, but the Sojourner Truth State Park does so I will link that here, https://parks.ny.gov/visit/state-parks/sojourner-truth-state-park I will also link the website for the young Sojourner Truth statue in Port Ewen covered in the show, https://www.esopus.gov/visit/sojourner-truths-time-in-esopus-ny/ .
