“Sojourner Truth Speak”

McGill’s well-known performance illustrates that Sojourner Truth, born Isabella Bom’free, circa 1797, has worked tirelessly, for over forty years, to attain basic human rights for others. In a remarkable transformation created by McGill’s theatrical ability, the 83-year-old Sojourner comes to life.
