SHOW TRANSCRIPT:

Hey, this Lori Lakin Hutcherson, founder and editor in chief of goodblacknews.org, here to share with you a daily drop of Good Black News for Thursday, March 10th, 2022, based on the “A Year of Good Black News Page-A-Day Calendar” published by Workman Publishing.

Today we offer a quote from Sojourner Truth, the first Black woman in America to obtain national fame for her activism and protesting, and who was featured in our March 2^nd Daily Drop. Here’s the quote:

“That…man…says women can’t have as much rights as man, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman. Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with him.”

This quote from the formerly enslaved Truth comes from a speech she gave in 1851 at a women’s rights convention.

To learn more about Truth, I’ll include the link to our March 2^nd Daily Drop, as it contains more details on her life and work, as well as providing links to sources for further exploration and research. Enjoy.

This has been a daily drop of Good Black News, based on the “A Year of Good Black News Page-A-Day Calendar for 2022,” published by Workman Publishing. Beats provided by freebeats.io and produced by White Hot.
