Bookstore Shenanigans: Sojourner Truth [Black History Month]

Описание: Hello TPW Family! And welcome to yet another edition of Bookstore Shenaningans!

On today’s episode I continue our Black History Month Series with a selection from our ‘Black
Americans of Achievement’ collection. I learned just a little bit about Sojourner Truth, an
antislavery activist who also fought for women’s rights.

One of the biggest takeaways I got was that we have no excuse for our lack of execution. She
could neither read, nor write and yet became a published author! So don’t you dare come
around me saying you can’t be a writer or you’ll never be able to write those essays or there’s
so much stacked against you that there’s no way you could be an author! All I’m going to say to
you is one name: Sojourner Truth!

All books in our ‘Black Americans of Achievement’ selection are $10.00 and they give you agood baseline for learning about each prominent figure.

As always, remember to stay in the books!
