In May 1851, at the Second Ohio Women’s Rights Convention at the Old Stone Church in Akron, Ohio, Sojourner Truth, a former slave and uninvited speaker, raised up her imposing six-foot presence and electrified the audience with a powerful speech now known as “Ain’t I a Woman?”  That speech, which many historians consider to be the most important woman’s rights speech in U.S. history, could have easily faded from the memory of most Ohioans.  But Truth’s life will live on in a statue and plaza near the actual site of the speech through the work of the Summit Suffrage Centennial Committee. Significantly, this will be the first public statue of an African American woman in Ohio and the largest public art statue of an African American woman.
