Answer:

Sojourner Truth

Step-by-step explanation:

Sojourner Truth (born Isabella Baumfree; c. 1797–November 26, 1883) was a famous Black American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Emancipated from enslavement by New York state law in 1827, she served as an itinerant preacher before becoming involved in the anti-slavery and women's rights movements. In 1864, Truth met Abraham Lincoln in his White House office.
