But still my soul feels heavenly bound		Come into slaveholding states
Swing low		The Underground Railroad
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?		Take me to freedom in the Northern States or Canada
A band of angels coming after me		I looked over the Mississippi or Ohio River, and what did I see?
Sweet chariot,		Workers on the Underground Railroad coming to help me
I’m sometimes up, I’m sometimes down		If I have escaped friends or family, please tell them my escape plan
Comin' for to carry me home...		I have good days and bad days
If you get there before I do, tell all my friends I’m coming too		But I know I will soon escape North on the Underground Railroad

That's all for class! Please read Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I A Woman" speech for homework. Next class, you will take guided notes on the Civil War and then watch the film "Glory."

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) was an African-American women’s rights activist and abolitionist. Truth was born into slavery, but escaped to freedom in 1826. “Ain’t I a Woman?” is her most famous speech. She delivered it without preparation at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention in 1851. As you read, pay attention to the methods Truth uses to build her argument.

If you would like to list to Truth's speech, check out this video!
