✊🏾 Sojourner Truth Historical Costume – Abolitionist & Women’s Rights Activist Ensemble
Step into history and honor the legacy of Sojourner Truth, one of America’s most influential abolitionists and women’s rights advocates. Born into slavery as Isabella “Bell” Baumfree, Truth escaped with her infant daughter in 1826 and later became the first Black woman to successfully win a court case against a white man to recover her son. She went on to help recruit Black troops for the Union during the Civil War and is remembered for her powerful 1851 speech, “Ain’t I A Woman?” at the
Ohio Women’s Rights Convention—an address that continues to inspire today.
This authentically styled costume recreates the iconic look of Sojourner Truth, making it ideal for school presentations, Black History Month programs, theatrical performances, historical reenactments, and educational events.

Used the Sojourner Truth costume as the basis for a caroler's costume in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It worked! Durable fabric. Not scratchy. Quick ship.
