Akron’s Sojourner Truth Plaza
March 14, 2024
Akron’s Sojourner Truth Project and Legacy Plaza has made its way into the national spotlight as a project that highlights Women’s History Month, a commemoration held in March every year.
Smithsonian magazine’s March edition features a 12-page spread titled “The Remarkable Untold Story of Sojourner Truth.” The article focuses on Truth’s life and legacy and also features her time in Akron, where she delivered her historic speech known as “Ain’t I a Woman?” The Sojourner Truth Project and the Legacy Plaza are both explored in detail within Cynthia Greenlee’s article.
