Sojourner Truth ( 1797 – November 26, 1883) was the self-given name, from 1843 onward, of Isabella Baumfree, an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, Ulster County, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. Her best-known extemporaneous speech on racial inequalities, Ain't I a Woman?, was delivered in 1851 at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. During the Civil War, Truth helped recruit black troops for the Union Army; after the war, Truth tried unsuccessfully to secure land grants from the federal government for former slaves.

That is absolutely amazing. Nothing less.
I thought I saw all of the L&O episodes...but I think I missed the one they are talking about that's sorta based on her life. I don't know how I would have felt being a family member seeing this on tv or reading those articles in the newspaper 25 after her death. I...have no words.

good looks. I did not know about this at all. Crazy when you think about all the things you actually know and what you DON'T know and what is really vital and important.
Again, thank you.

Looks similar but the skin, nose, and lips look different. But I dunno, maybe dude had plastic surgery. Just doesn't look like him to me though.
This dude is hardcore w/ his photography. He has to be directly in the line of fire.
