Sojourner Truth’s daughter was buried in an unmarked grave until a descendant took action
In 1826, Sojourner Truth, born into slavery as Isabella "Belle" Baumfree in New York, escaped with her infant daughter Sophia.
They left behind a husband and father and three other children.
She changed her name, and seven years after delivering her famous "Ain't I a Woman" speech in Ohio, Sojourner Truth moved north to Michigan. She settled in the Battle Creek area in 1857, buying an acre of land in a village named Harmonia.
Harmonia was established by Quaker pioneers who had converted to Spiritualism, a religious movement that believed spirits of the dead existed and could communicate with the living.
The belief system swept across the country in the years before and during the Civil War.
