The Sojourner Truth Statue is a renewed effort to establish a dedicated memorial in Akron, the site of Truth's famous speech that challenged the exclusion of women of color from the women’s rights movement.
The statue has been commissioned from local artist Woodrow Nash who builds a sense of mystery and charisma into each of his sculptures. Through his pieces, Nash achieves his goal of integrating expression, complex symbolism and sophisticated aesthetics to yield striking embodiments of the human soul and sensuality.
