Despite the impediments as both a former slave and a black woman living in the post Civil War south, she relentlessly pursued stories that exposed horrific injustices, often jeopardizing her own safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe viewed truth—no matter how hard it was to tell—as the ultimate means of confronting corruption, injustice, and hatred. She didn’t embellish, or write to fit her agenda or feelings. She didn’t allow herself to be defined by ideologies or interest groups. She told the truth. Our illustration is a nod to her remarkable strength, and the idea that the act of writing as a form of truth telling shines a light on the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL OFFER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAny 3 prints for $48 (regularly $72) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCode: 3PRINTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSee all prints \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/obviousstate.com\/collections\/art-prints\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"meta\"\u003e• 11x14 inch art print with white border \u003cbr\u003e• Premium, fine art paper made in New York \u003cbr\u003e• Elegant eggshell finish\u003cbr\u003e• Ships in a a rigid, flat mailer.
