Sojourner Truth Abolitionist Black Women's Rights Magnet

This customizeable round pinback magnet design features a restored reproduction of a circa 1870 albumen photograph portrait of famous American abolitionist and women's rights activist Sojourner Truth, 1797-1883. We have added the faux antique gold accents. Sojourner Truth was an American abolitionist of New York Dutch heritage and a women's rights activist. Sojourner was born into slavery in Swartekill, New York and she eventually escaped to freedom with her baby daughter in 1826. In 1828 she went to court and sued to recover her enslaved son and became the first former black American slave woman to prevail in this type of lawsuit against a white man. You can easily change the background colour, text spelling; font size, style and colour with the Zazzle Personalize / Edit buttons.
