Sojourner Truth
I deleted your contributions to Sojourners article. The claims from the book that she built a large house for her family is not exactly accurate. She was allowed to convert an old barn on the Merritt Family property into a dwelling for herself and a few members of her family. Mr Merritt gave her a deed for that part of his property in 1871. This is a matter of public record. If you are interested in a more accurate account of her life, please see here. If you want to know why she changed her name you can read her own words here.

 * Please don't be discouraged about editing her article. There are is much about her life that could be added. There is plenty of research material available and we can only be enriched by learning more about her. Happy editing! - Epousesquecido (talk) 18:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
