The Sojourner Truth Institute of Battle Creek

The Sojourner Truth Institute of Battle Creek was established as part of the Battle Creek Community Foundation in 1998 to shed light on the history of Sojourner Truth and her work. Using this site as a tool, the Battle Creek Foundation's goals are to educate and promote projects that represent the ideals and principles Truth stood for. The Institute is located in North Washington and houses one of the most extensive archives of Sojourner Truth artifacts and records in the United States. The site contains numerous photos, an in-depth timeline, library and bibliographies, archives section, virtual art gallery, and instructional aides for teachers. For those looking to incorporate the story of Sojourner Truth into their teaching curriculum of United States history this site is a good place to start.
