Celebrating Trailblazers: Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony & Harriet Tubman

This piece highlights the remarkable contributions of three iconic women in American history: Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, and Harriet Tubman. Sojourner Truth, an abolitionist and women's rights activist, famously met President Lincoln in 1864 and advocated for African American emigration post-Civil War. Susan B. Anthony fought for women’s suffrage and was arrested in 1872 for attempting to vote, culminating in the 19th Amendment's ratification in 1920. Harriet Tubman, a Union spy and abolitionist, risked her life to liberate slaves. Their legacies continue to inspire movements for equality.
