The Sojourner Truth Organization: Notes Toward a History

[I’ve finally managed to compile my personal archive of STO publications.  Apart from several agitational “shop sheets” distributed in the early 1970’s, I believe this is the complete list of items I currently have in my possession, although I probably missed a few other leaflets.  In some cases I have original printed material, while in others I have copies provided either by former members or by institutional archives.  I am happy to share copies of any of these publications with anyone interested, and anyone who has in their possession published material not listed here is very much encouraged to contact me.  I will gladly pay for copying and postage.  Finally, please note that I have created links to the still growing STO Web Archive for those documents available either in whole or in part on that site.]
