Today's a great day to revisit the differences between Sojourner Truth's actual speech, as transcribed by Marius Robinson for 1851 publication in the Anti-Slavery Bugle, &... the (in)famous version, the "Ain't I a woman?" caricature by Frances Gage, written in a false southern-slave dialect in lieu of Truth's New York low-Dutch accent, and published in 1863, in the New York Independent.
Context shapes so much of our "truth" - literally, in this case.
