Abolitionist and activist Sojourner Truth, who was born into slavery in Ulster County, NY, and later escaped to freedom, electrified audiences at the 1851 Women’s Rights Convention in Ohio with her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech. Doctor-turned-mural artist Chip Thomas aka jetsonorama of The Painted Desert Project, and collaborator Jess X. Snow, honored Truth’s contribution to the women’s rights movement and her role as a humanitarian by asking African-American female poets to share poems pertaining to African-American womanhood. Poets Mahogany Browne and T’ai Freedom Ford are depicted with their poems embedded in each portrait.
