About the book
Sojourner Truth traveled the country in the latter half of the 19th century, speaking out against slavery. Her simple yet powerful words helped people understand the hideous truth about slavery. The story she told was her own.Only Passing Through is the inspiring story of how a woman, born a slave with no status or dignity, transforms herself into one of the most powerful voices of the abolitionist movement. It is a simple, affecting portrait of an American icon.
