The Sojourner Truth Legacy Project is a signature initiative of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation that honors the contributions of Black women leaders who have made significant impacts in their communities and across the nation.

Named after the legendary abolitionist and women’s rights activist, the project uplifts the voices of Black women in politics, advocacy, and social justice, recognizing their ongoing work to drive change and inspire future generations.

Through this initiative, CBCF highlights the achievements of Black women trailblazers and convenes meaningful discussions on the challenges, successes, and leadership of Black women in the United States.
