[Sojourner Truth Statue]
Image ID: WPC 02:155
Front of postcard shows colorful close-up image of Sojourner Truth Statue located in Florence, Massachuetts. The statue gleams in the fall sun and trees with bright orange leaves can be seen behind it. Overlaid text reads: "Then that little man in black there, he says that women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman. Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with him." A full body shot of the statue is inset on the front as well.
Printed text on the back reads: "Sojourner Truth Memorial Statue was erected on Pine Street in Florence, Massachuetts in 2002. It honors the famous abolitionist and women's rights advocate who was born in slavery in New York State in 1797 and died in 1883. The life size statue was designed by Thomas Jay Warren. Sojourner came to Florence in 1843 to join the Northampton Association of Education and Industry, a worker's utopian commune that advocated equality, justice, education, and worker's rights. While in Florence she wrote THE NARRATIVE OF SOJOURNER: A NORTHERN SLAVE. She left Florence in 1857 and became a nationally known speaker."
