Who was Sojourner Truth? Our name is a tribute to "Belle" a woman born into slavery in 1797. She was sold away from her parents when she was four, passed on from one indifferent owner to another, then separated from her five children. In 1843 she walked onto the pages of American history when she became Sojourner - God's pilgrim. A second name - Truth - came to her "in a voice as true as God's is true." Sojourner Truth traveled widely speaking about slavery and women's rights and working to preserve the dignity of all people
