And ar’n’t I a woman?
SOJOURNER TRUTHAnd ar’n’t I a woman?
SOJOURNER TRUTHIt is the mind that makes the body.
SOJOURNER TRUTHThe Spirit calls me, and I must go.
SOJOURNER TRUTHThen that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ’cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
SOJOURNER TRUTHChrist came from God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with him.
SOJOURNER TRUTHWhat we give to the poor, we lend to the Lord.
SOJOURNER TRUTHYou have been having our rights so long, that you think, like a slave-holder, that you own us. I know that it is hard for one who has held the reins for so long to give up; it cuts like a knife. It will feel all the better when it closes up again.
SOJOURNER TRUTHWhere there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.
SOJOURNER TRUTHI am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring, I will step into the pool.
SOJOURNER TRUTHI am not going to die, I’m going home like a shooting star.
SOJOURNER TRUTHI don’t read such small stuff as letters, I read men and nations. I can see through a millstone, though I can’t see through a spelling-book. What a narrow idea a reading qualification is for a voter!
SOJOURNER TRUTHAnd ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?
SOJOURNER TRUTHTruth burns up error.
SOJOURNER TRUTHChrist came from God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with him.
SOJOURNER TRUTHWe do as much, we eat as much, we want as much.
SOJOURNER TRUTHOh no, honey, I can’t read little things like letters. I read big things like men.
