"We are young black men from the East African community of City Heights in San Diego. Because of our immigrant backgrounds, we have a different perspective from many of our African American peers. Some of us were born in East Africa and came to the United States as kids, and some of us are the children of refugees who fled to the U.S. from war-torn countries."

Sojourner Truth was an abolitionist and women’s rights activist. Truth was born a slave, she was bought and sold four times. In 1826, Truth escaped to an abolitionist family with her infant daughter Sophia. The family bought her freedom and helped her gain the return of her five-year-old son Peter, who had been illegally sold. Truth was the first black woman to win a court case against a white man. In 1844, she joined the Northampton Association of Education and Industry, whi...ch was an organization founded by abolitionists that supported women’s rights, religious tolerance, and pacifism. She met William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and David Ruggles through this organization, who all encouraged her to deliver her first anti-slavery speech that year. Truth delivered her famous Ain’t I a Woman? speech in 1851 at a women’s rights conference in Akron Ohio, where she challenged prevailing notions of racial and gender inferiority and inequality. . #womenshistorymonth #sojournertruth #womenempowerment #ucsd #refugeehealth #publichealth #healthequity #globalhealth #womensrights See more
