When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children? Just imagine what our world would be
like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to
war, the environment, education or healthcare.

Commentary by host Elaine B. Holtz: In
celebration of Mother's Day we are playing a recitation
of the Mother's Day Proclamation of Julia Ward Howe of
1870, which was an appeal to women to unite for peace in
the world. The collection in baskets of amputated arms
and legs of soldiers in the Civil War prompted the
Proclamation. We follow this with an updated version by
Rivera Sun published by Code Pink for our times. Tina
Rogers joins, as a regular every 2nd Monday of the month
on Women's Spaces, to present two Black Women in
Herstory upon whose shoulders we stand for the rights of
women. This month Tina features Sojourner Truth and
Charlotte Vandyne Fonten.
---
2. Our
guest Tina Rogers talks about two women
prominent in Black Herstory: Sojourner Truth and
Charlotte Vandyne Fonten.
Sojourner
Truth (1797 - 1883) was born as Isabella
"Belle" Baumfree in Esopus, New York. She was sold three
times in slavery, once with sheep, as slaves were
legally just another form of property. Listen to
Tina recount the fascinating life of Sojourner Truth,
the name Belle changed to at a Methodist Pentecost
service for she heard the Spirit call her to preach the
truth. In 1851, at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in
Akron, Ohio she made her famous speech Ain't I a
Woman, calling for the abolitionism with women's
rights. She published her memoirs in 1850, The
Narrative of Sojourner Truth: a Northern Slave.
Sojourner Truth recruited black soldiers for the Civil
War and met with Abraham Lincoln in 1864.
Tina
Rogers then shares the story, noting the difference of
economic class, of the second woman Charlotte
Vandyne Fonten, Sr. (1785-1884). She was
the wife of a prosperous Black merchant and abolitionist
James Fonten. Charlotte, James and their 3 daughters
were active in founding and funding six abolitionist
organizations, including the first bi-racial women
abolitionist organization, the Female Anti-Slavery
Society in Philadelphia, and were conductors of the
Underground Railroad ferreting slaves to freedom and
educated slaves after the Civil War.
Tina Rogers ends the segment by
announcing the annual Juneteenth Celebration of
Diversity and Inclusion in Sonoma County will be by zoom
on Saturday, June 19, 2021, which commemorates the Blacks
in Galveston being notified by a federal Major landing
with Union soldiers on June 19, 1865, some 2-1/2 years
after the Emancipation Proclamation, that they were
indeed free. And the event is free, family oriented and
open to the public. Registration will occur at
