Hey y'all for inquiring minds, Sojourner Truth was from the North. She was a slave in the north. The family she was owned by in her early life were Dutch and Dutch was her first language. Despite what most of us have learned in our history classes as children, at the time of her birth in 1797, there were over 27,100 enslaved persons in the north. Aside from speaking tours in which she traveled the country, she resided in the north for most of her life. ALL THIS TO SAY THAT Sojourner Truth DID NOT speak with a southern accent/ southern dialect. In interpreting her words through this voice, we are disrespecting and disregarding her true voice. Take that to your history class and thank me later.

Sojourner Truth had a dutch accent. May I say a few words? I want to say a few words about this matter. I am a woman’s rights. (a) I have as much muscle as any man, and can do as much work as any man. (b) I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that? I have heard much about the sexes being equal; I can carry as much as any man, and can (c) eat as much too, if (d) I can get it. I am as strong as any man that is now. As for intellect, all I can say is, (e) if women have a pint and man a quart - why can’t she have her little pint full? You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much, for we cant take more than our pint’ll hold. The poor men seem to be all in confusion, and dont know what to do. Why children, if you have woman’s rights, give it to her and you will feel better. You will have your own rights, and they wont be so much trouble. I cant read, but I can hear. I have heard the bible and have learned that Eve caused man to sin. Well if woman upset the world, do give her a chance to set it right side up again. The Lady has spoken about Jesus, how he never spurned woman from him, and she was right. When Lazarus died, Mary and Martha came to him with faith and love and besought him to raise their brother. And Jesus wept - and Lazarus came forth. And how came Jesus into the world? (f) Through God who created him and woman who bore him. (g)Man, where is your part? But the women are coming up blessed be God and a few of the men are coming up with them. But man is in a tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming on him, and he is surely between-a hawk and a buzzard.

This isn't her speech. If you look it up a white woman rewrote her speech years later and Sojourner's first langauge was Dutch just like 16-20% of the black people living in New Amsterdam, New York and New Jersey. A lot of our AA history has been tainted. A black woman from New York would not be speaking in a southern accent especially if she learned English at 7 or 8. It is speculated that she still had a Dutch accent.

She was born and raised in the north. Read for yourself. Read A Narrative of Sojourner Truth. This story was put out thirteen years after she gave her momentous speech at the Ohio Women's Rights Commission. It was put out by a journalist that never saw her speak. Sojourner Truth deserves more respect than this corrupted version of her very important speech.

Kerry Washington is a fine actress. However Sojourner Truth did not make this speech - nor did she speak in Black Southern dialect. Sojourner Truth’s first language was Dutch. "She was born Isabella Baumfree in 1797 in Ulster County, New York, the daughter of James and Elizabeth Baumfree. Together with her parents, she spent her childhood enslaved on the estate of Johannes, then later Charles, Hardenbergh. Enslaved by Dutch settlers, Dutch was her first language." "The version of her speech we are taught today “aint I a woman” was a version transcribed years later by a white woman who rendered her speech in what she imagined to be Black southern vernacular. That’s not how Truth spoke." Please read historian Nell Irwin Painter.
