Issues:
I don't believe that people should be treated differently just because of their race or because of their gender. I believe that everyone should be treated equally and everyone should have the same opportunities. I challenge the government because of my strong belief that one day we won't all be so segregated.
Solutions:
I founded many Women's Rights Associations. I fought for as long as I could since I knew there would be a limit. I also published a journal called "The Revolution" to promote Women and African American suffrage.

I would feel most comfortable sitting next to you because we have the same opinion on women's rights and I feel that we have a lot it common. Plus, we have talked before about women's rights. I think that we would talk about what we did to change women's rights in America and we would share stories on how we did that.

ReplyDeleteI would feel most comfortable sitting next to you because we both devoted most of our lives, and even became friends, over the issue of women's suffrage. I also preached immensely on the topic of African American freedoms, which is another topic that you have talked to me about before. COnsidering you are my friend and have worked with me on numerous accounts, we would stay occupied and comfortable at the Dinner Party. - Sojourner Truth
