The Odyssey

My friends advise me, and to quit the shore.
Their wholesome counsel rashly I declined,
Curious to view the man of monstrous kind,
And try what social rites a savage lends:
Dire rites, alas! and fatal to my friends."

Sojourner Truth
by Joanna Evans
MAMA (Shaken): I don’t want to hear of this any longer. Besides, what kind of name is Sojourner Truth?
REBECCA: Her real name is Isabella Baumfree. She gave herself the name “Sojourner Truth” after she was freed from slavery. Then she began to travel the countryside to help other slaves to freedom. She’s letting us northerners know that the wrongs that happened in the South happened here, too, right under our very noses. She knows that all people should have the right to be free and the power to vote, and that includes women, black or white.
MAMA (Softening): Rebecca, you are beginning to scare me.
