Sojourner Truth: Unbound Witness (Audiobook)
Sojourner Truth: Unbound Witness is an epic, immersive biography chronicling the monumental life of one of American history’s most formidable moral forces. Spanning over 6 hours of captivating narration, this deeply researched audio experience traces the sweeping journey of a woman who transformed the wound of bondage into an unyielding weapon of national witness.
Born Isabella Baumfree in a cold Hudson Valley cellar, she was sold at nine years old alongside a flock of sheep for one hundred dollars. Facing the brutality of the auction block and the heartbreak of family separation, she seized her own liberation in 1826 and went on to make legal history as one of the first Black women to successfully sue a white man in an American court to rescue her illegally trafficked young son.
In 1843, she cast off her slave name forever, taking up the mantle of Sojourner Truth to embark on a lifelong crusade across a fractured republic. Over six expansive hours, you will follow her through every pivotal chapter of her life:
- Courage on the Circuit: Facing down violent mobs across Ohio and Indiana with unshakable composure and devastating wit.
- The Historic Call for Rights: Electrifying the 1851 Akron Women's Rights Convention and dismantling the theological arguments of masculine superiority.
- Wartime Leadership: Organizing critical contraband camp relief, recruiting Black Union soldiers, and advising President Abraham Lincoln at the White House.
- Defying Segregation: Launching bold direct action campaigns to desegregate the public transit streetcars of Washington, D.C.
- The Unfinished Promise: Battling for universal enfranchisement within the American Equal Rights Association and championing western homestead land grants for the Kansas Exodusters.
Unflinching, powerful, and richly detailed, this definitive audio biography captures the spirit of an American visionary who proved that true liberation must be seized, spoken, and continuously defended.
