 Coleman, & Sylvia Rivera\n\nSojourner Truth (born c. 1797 – November 
 26, 1883) was a slave who escaped to freedom in 1826. Truth became an 
 outspoken advocate for abolition, temperance, and civil and women’s 
 rights in the nineteenth century. Her Civil War work earned her an 
 invitation to meet \nPresident Abraham Lincoln in 1864 (NWHM).\nNWHM:

 (January 26, 1892 – April 30, 1926) was an early American civil aviator. 
 She was the first African-American woman and first Native-American to hold 
 a pilot license (Wiki). Coleman was very vocal in her stand against 
 segregation, refusing to speak or perform anywhere that was segregated or 
 discriminated against African Americans (NWHM).\nNWHM:

 and transgender rights activist who was also a noted community worker in 
 New York. Rivera, \nwho identified as a drag queen, participated in 
 demonstrations with the Gay Liberation Front (Wiki).\nSmithsonian National
