The Sojourner Truth Monument is a sculpture in Battle Creek measuring twelve feet high of Sojourner Truth, a woman who was born into slavery, escaped with her daughter, and went on to become an abolitionist and suffragist. Designed by Tina Allen, a renowned artist, the sculpture was dedicated in 1999 in Monument Park. Truth stands next to a lectern, symbolizing how she used her public speaking gift to fight for suffrage and abolition in nearly twenty states. Sojourner Truth moved to Battle Creek in 1857 and lived in the town until 1883. She is buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery.
