Greg Jenner is joined in the eighteenth century by Professor Frank Cogliano and comedian and actor Patton Oswalt for a special Fourth of July episode all about the American War of Independence. Also known as the American Revolutionary War, 2025 marks 250 years since the start of the conflict in 1775, when the first battles between the British army and the colonial resistance were fought at Lexington and Concord. But what caused Britain's North American colonies to rebel against the king and government in London? At what point did they start to see themselves as American and not British? And how did a colonial militia take on an imperial superpower? This episode charts the growing rift between Britain and its American colonists, taking in famous events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the calling of the first Continental Congress, all the way through to the Declaration of Independence and the course of the revolutionary war itself. We learn how America fought to free itself from the shackles of British rule, and meet some well-known names from history, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and George Washington. And we also ask whose freedom was being fought for, and who – such as Black and Indigenous Americans – got left behind. If you're a fan of fearless freedom fighters, political wrangling and stunning military victories, you'll love our episode on the American War of Independence.If you want more American political history, listen to our episode on Becoming America, or episodes on abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. And for more independence movements, check out our episode on Simón Bolívar.You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.Hosted by: Greg Jenner Research by: Charlotte Emily Edgeshaw Written by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow, Emma Nagouse, and Greg Jenner Produced by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and Greg Jenner Audio Producer: Steve Hankey Production Coordinator: Ben Hollands Senior Producer: Emma Nagouse Executive Editor: Philip Sellars

The history you think you know wasn't just written in books--it was curated, shaped, and edited by people with their own self interests. But before that, it was lived. And the people whose lives we study weren't usually the ones who got to tell their own stories. Some voices were amplified, while others were diminished--or erased altogether.In this episode, Sojourner Truth's famous speech at the 1851 Akron Women's Rights Convention is the starting point for unraveling hundreds of years of lost and manipulated history, reminding us why the truth must never be allowed to be forgotten.To read the speeches for yourself, find both versions here, as well as a video demonstrating the accent Sojourner would have had:Compare the Speeches — The Sojourner Truth ProjectFind me here:https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find me on Instagram or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnB, but I don't check Facebook muchYou can send me an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.com

Langston Hughes, the great African American poet, said decades ago, “Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America.” Fascism can and has led to genocide. Progressive African American intellectuals, writers, poets, and musicians have had a long tradition and history of solidarity and resisting fascism and genocide, from Frederick Douglass to Gil Scott-Heron, from Sojourner Truth to Angela Davis, from W.E.B. Du Bois to John Lewis, from Paul Robeson to Amiri Baraka, from Ida B. Wells to Malcolm X, from Ella Baker to Dr. King, from Harry Belafonte to Sonny Rollins, from James Baldwin to Cornel West and up to the present moment where Robin D. G. Kelley warns “We're witnessing the consolidation of a fascist police state.” Recorded at the University of Massachusetts.

What do you get when you mix a 185-foot steeple, a Civil War construction delay, a lecture from Sojourner Truth, and a bell with New York swagger? You get the First Presbyterian Church of Coldwater — a Romanesque Revival legend that's been standing tall (literally) since the 1860s. In this episode, we're diving into Coldwater's architectural pride, feminist guest stars, and why one donor basically said, “Build it big enough to be seen from Indiana.” Church has never sounded this iconic.

St. Luke United Methodist Church—Bryn Mawr, PA. Centering on the life and legacy of Sojourner Truth, this message challenges traditional interpretations of 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 that promote cultural conformity in the name of Christian unity. Min. Harris reclaims reconciliation as sacred coexistence, not submission, through Africological theology, womanist spirituality, and bold biblical exegesis. From the African origins of humanity to the silenced wisdom of the poor and prophetic voices of Black women, this sermon invites listeners to reimagine what it truly means to be “new creations” in Christ. Tune in and discover how genuine reconciliation allows every culture to worship God without erasure or apology.

"Listen, as I recite one of the most iconic speeches of American History. At the 1851 Women's Rights Convention held in Akron, Ohio, Sojourner Truth delivered what is now recognized as one of the most famous abolitionist and women's rights speeches in American history, “Ain't I a Woman?” She continued to speak out for the rights of African Americans and women during and after the Civil War. Ladies and Gentleman, in honor of Women's History Month- I give you... Sojourner Truth's 'Ain't I A Woman? Enjoy!"

Picking up where she left off with Pauli Murray, Rev. Dr. Andriette now turns our sacred attention to the extraordinary life and voice of Sojourner Truth—a woman who embodied truth-telling, spiritual boldness, and sacred activism. Through a powerful metaphysical lens, we'll explore how Sojourner's legacy invites us to activate our own divine courage, speak from spiritual authority, and rise—unapologetically—into our soul's purpose. This is more than history. This is herstory as sacred call and spiritual demonstration. Join us live and be lifted!

From the Smithsonian's Sidedoor podcast: sorting fact from fiction to find the real Sojourner Truth.As a prominent woman's rights activist and abolitionist, Sojourner Truth gave hundreds of speeches and sold countless images of herself. And yet the words that define her in our popular imagination - "Ain't I a woman?" - were actually made up.Host Lizzie Peabody went looking for the real Sojourner Truth and she found a woman with a much more complicated and fascinating life than any slogan can capture.Guests:Nell Irvin Painter, author of Sojourner Truth: a Life, a Symbol; Edwards Professor of American History Emerita at Princeton UniversityAshleigh Coren, former content strategist for the Smithsonian's Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past initiativeKim Sajet, director of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and host of the Smithsonian's Portraits podcast

A Daily Dose of The Help Myself Podcast

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's The Heart of A Woman. This is a rare "double dip" for the book club, as we read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings in the summer of 2014 just after the transition of the famed author and Wake Forest scholar. Gus T. was inundated with the life and literary work of Dr. Angelou during his recent Golden State sojourn. And it took Gus seeing the documentary film Soundtrack to a Coup d'État three times to accurately write down the title Heart of a Woman. The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just two of the many books in the project. Last week, Dr. Angelou detailed her Harlem hobnobbing of the early 1960's and her activist work on behalf of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. She was momentarily engaged to a black bale bondsman named Thomas. But she met a chubby African named Make and kicked worthless Thomas to the curb. She agreed to marry Make (at least her 3rd fiancé), and introduced him to her 15-year-old son Guy as her new care mate. Guy continues to insist that he's a "man." Dr. Angelou meets numerous Africans and shares with them the history of White Supremacy in the US, highlighting the counter-racist labor of Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth. #ImGoinGetMeSomeStuffTonight #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Sojourner Truth was a women's rights advocate known best for her famous speech "Ain't I a Woman." But Truth never actually said these words. In fact, much of the Truth we know… is fiction. Depictions from different artists and journalists have tweaked Truth's legacy to fit their messages, giving her a “kaleidoscopic reputation,” according to Nell Irvin Painter, author of Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol.  So how did a speech she never gave make Sojourner Truth one of the most famous women's suffragists of the 19th century? And what did Truth actually say? Turns out, the whole Truth is even better than fiction.  Guests: Nell Irvin Painter, author of Sojourner Truth: a Life, a Symbol; Edwards Professor of American History Emerita at Princeton University Ashleigh Coren, former content strategist for the Smithsonian's Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past initiative Kim Sajet, director of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and host of the Smithsonian's Portraits podcast
