The face of Sojourner Truth is depicted in this vivid picture, with brilliant colors that exude life and energy. Butterflies surround her, signifying change and freedom. Truth's influence on the struggle for civil rights and her lasting legacy are reflected by the play of colors and the inclusion of butterflies. Her energy, as well as the hope and change she brought about in the world, are depicted in the picture. (Ashley Longshore)
