Commemorating the life and legacy of Sojourner Truth.

HRES 21 is a non-binding House resolution commemorating the life and legacy of Sojourner Truth, an escaped enslaved person, abolitionist, and women's rights advocate. It formally recognizes her contributions through historical context - highlighting her escape from slavery, her famous "Ain't I a Woman?" speech, and her work with freed slaves after the Civil War. The resolution states the House's sense that Truth's life exemplifies resilience, equality advocacy, and the American ideal of transcending societal barriers. It does not create new laws, allocate funding, or affect any specific group or policy. This is purely a symbolic tribute to her historical significance.
