Two Versions of One Speech
Captions available
The idea
Sojourner Truth's Akron speech of eighteen fifty-one survives in two published versions, and the famous refrain belongs to the later one, published in eighteen sixty-three.
In practice
Marius Robinson reporting a convention, and Frances Dana Gage writing during a war over slavery.
Where people slip
Unit 13 covers both. Neither is dishonest and they cannot both be verbatim, so the course records and attributes both.
