That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) the life of Sojourner Truth reflects the experience of millions of women of African descent brought to the Americas in violence and in violation of their human rights to be the progenitors of slaves, but who not only survived that existence, but thrived to shape new paths to an awakening of how people view race and gender; (2) Sojourner Truth demonstrates the indomitable will of people everywhere who yearn to be free and overcome impossible odds to win freedom for themselves and others; and (3) Sojourner Truth reflects the best American tradition of using one’s courage and intellect to transcend societal limits to reinvent and renew the American Dream and pass it on to succeeding generations, endowing them with the freedom to unleash their imagination and pursue their dreams.
