Thanks
for your note to Feminist.com--and
for making visible the very
important work of Sojourner
Truth. To voice your concerns
directly to the National Political Congress
of Black Women, you can
contact them at: 202-338-0800;
fax 202-625-0499.
On another note, I know that
Gloria Steinem was equally upset
about this--and equally inspired
by the work and vision of Sojourner
Truth---that she has been lobbying
others to erect a statue of
Sojourner in Central Park in
New York. I know that it is
only in the planning stages,
but I will pass your note along
to her for further impetus to
act.
For background information on
the Women's Suffrage Statue
in general (which was finally
moved from the Capitol's basement
to the Rotunda, see our
information here at Feminist.com.
Thanks for taking the time to
point this out.
—Amy
