We Will Be Free: The Life and Faith of Sojourner Truth
By Nancy Koester. Eerdmans Publishing, 2023.
This riveting biography offers a significant contribution to the corpus of knowledge on the nineteenth-century abolition movement. Koester covers Truth’s life during and after her enslavement, effectively demonstrating the central role of Truth’s Christian faith in shaping her advocacy and enhancing oratory during the abolition period, women’s rights movement, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.
Koester draws the connection throughout the biography, showing how Truth’s faith was central to her activism. She highlights her role as a devoted mother and grandmother, her collaboration with Frederick Douglass and others, and her work during Reconstruction. This compelling and accessible biography is relevant in our time of systemic racism and human rights abuse.
