Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) lived in the Battle Creek, Michigan, area for the last 27 years of her life. Though she could neither read nor write, this charismatic ex-slave, empowered by deep religious faith, carried a message of social reform and individual rights across the country. Using humor, wit, and song in her oratory, she transformed national attitudes and institutions, leaving a legacy the community sought to honor and carry forward.
