What is Sojourner Truth saying about the connection between civil rights for African Americans and the rights of women?
Why was she able to stand before a large audience and expound this way without notes or preparation?
I'll help out you FCA peeps, here was my discussion (without the personal bit)
" What I think Sojourner Truth was saying about the connection between civil rights for African Americans and the rights of women is how it unfair that we are treated so poorly (we meaning woman) and how it makes no sense. I am not African American but I am a female and have been talked down to so many times. In her speech, she states "That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages,
and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody
ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best
place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me!" In this statement, she is saying how even though she is a woman she is still being treated differently. That's how she connects them. Not only is she getting "hated" on by being "black" but being a woman adds another layer. It's crazy how people can act."
My writing is not that great so don't just copy and paste this, use it as a guide, or you'll get us both in trouble. GOOD LUCK LOVELYSSSSS
Okay i Kinda get it. Ill ask more questions if i get them.
future christians of america thats nice
1. Did she believe those two types of rights were different? or basically the same? Explain.
2. Who was Sojourner Truth? Did she live what she spoke about? Or was she speaking about an issue she had witnessed but was not part of? Explain.
Sojourner Truth was a prominent African American abolitionist and women's rights activist in the 19th century. In her famous speech titled "Ain't I a Woman?", she argued for the intersectionality of civil rights for African Americans and the rights of women. She asserted that both groups faced similar struggles and should be united in their fight for equality.
To understand what Sojourner Truth is saying about the connection between civil rights for African Americans and the rights of women, you can analyze her speech. First, she emphasizes her own identity as a black woman, highlighting the experiences of both racial and gender discrimination. She challenges the prevailing notion at the time that women were fragile and needed protection, arguing that black women were as strong and capable as any man. Truth then draws parallels between her struggles as a woman and the struggles of black men, arguing that if they were able to attain their rights, women should also be granted the same privileges.
Regarding how Sojourner Truth was able to deliver such a powerful and impactful speech without notes or preparation, it is important to note that her speech reflects skills she developed over time. She was accustomed to speaking in public and had a deep understanding of the issues she spoke about. Additionally, through her life experiences, she had lived through the hardships and discrimination she described in her speech. This personal connection to the subject matter likely played a significant role in her ability to speak passionately and eloquently without relying on notes or extensive preparation.
