Did you know Sojourner Truth’s first language was Dutch? The version of her speech we are taught today “aint I a woman” was a version transcribed years later by a white woman who rendered her speech in what she imagined to be Black southern vernacular. That’s not how Truth spoke.

Writing in English, being translated into English, and therefore legible to the western world and deserving of its sympathy—these should not be the terms of life and death.
