‘Ain’t I A Woman?’ speech
Truth speaks at the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio.
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man – when I could get it – and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?
A black boy pointing a gun at his head
Erwitt takes what he says is his favorite photo, of a black boy pointing a gun at his head in Pittsburgh.
The picture that I keep coming back to more and more, which has a lot to do with me and my attitude and my point of view, is of the little black boy with the gun to his head. It’s a picture that for me has the elements … that speak of me as a photographer. The photograph is funny and tragic at the same time.

I did this job in an episode of The Lieutenant series for Gene Roddenberry. A few weeks after I finished the job my agent called me and said, ‘Gene Roddenberry, producer of The Lieutenant show, saw the footage, was interested in you, liked what you did, and said that he has in mind for you a role in a pilot that he’s developing for a science fiction series.” Period. I really didn’t give it a lot of thought. You hear that kind of thing and you’re a long way from getting a job.
