Thanks for making the truth known…as usual!
You're welcome. It was news to me too. What I didn't mention was that Frances Dana Gage, grew up Universalist--although she left the church because it wasn't as supportive of social movements as she thought it should be.
Well, I did NOT know that about the popularized Gage version of Sojourner Truth's speech. Fascinating.
I didn’t either. I was quite surprised! That’s why I felt it was important write about it. Thanks for restacking it.
Thanks, Annette. It I s good to know the truth. Truth was a more accomplished person than Gage wanted her to be.
Ain’t that the truth!
