Born Isabella Baumfree, former slave Sojourner Truth left her master after he did not free her as promised. She told him, "I did not run away; I walked away by daylight." She became a strong human rights advocate, delivering her famous "Ain't I a Woman?" speech at the 1851 Women’s Rights Convention.
