i think that the Sojourner

i think that the Sojourner Truth plate we viewed in class would have been a greater tribute to Sojourner Truthwithout the controversy about its difference from the other plates in the collection. the image on the plate was highly symbolic, and i wonder if the plates representing the female body have as much of a story behind them. i understand that representing the only african american women in the exibit differently than the white women turned many african americans off to the exibit, but without the element of race, being given a face would seem to me more of an honor than a slight.
