Sep 7, 2008 - Nice job. I saw a play about 2 years ago in Hollywood, CA called "Sojourner" produced by Tina Treadwell and written/directed by Les Wieder. The part of Sojourner was played by three amazing actresses: Angeles Echols Sabah El-Amin and April. I hope they bring this play back. I saw it three times when it was out. Very memorable experience seeing that play. Very powerful story.

Sep 7, 2008 - The video and interpretation were just fine in my opinion. For an uneducated woman, Sojourner Truth spoke volumes And brilliantly of the subject at hand, and No one could match her convictions unless they, like her had lost 13 children to slavery and worked the way she did all her life. She paid her dues, and is now even after her passing is long over-due her dues!
