Sojourner Truth

Sojourner Truth told her story on being black and a woman, and the sexism that was brought about during slavery. She promoted education for men and women of all color and race. Whether red, green, purple or rainbow, if they are educated properly they could do anything in life. Only men were being educated while the women were supposed to be in the house taking care of the young. Women wanted an education too. When women were being educated they were  being taught things they already knew how to do such as, sweeping, cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the house. Men believed that a women’s territory was the home. They needed to be Christians and to instill morality into society, but they wanted to be taught the same as the men. Today, men and women of every ethnicity are being educated in the same schools so everybody is receiving the same education as the next person. Just like education was important then it is important now and is a very big part of men and women’s lives everywhere.
