Read this passage from “An Account of an Experience with Discrimination.” What is Sojourner Truth’s specific purpose is as revealed in this passage? As I ascended the platform of the car, the conductor pushed me, saying “Go back—get off here.” I told him I was not going off, then “I’ll put you off” said he furiously, clenching my right arm with both hands, using such violence that he seemed about to succeed, when Mrs. Haviland told him he was not going to put me off. “Does she belong to you?” said he in a hurried angry tone. She replied, “She does not belong to me, but she belongs to humanity.” The number of the car was noted, and conductor dismissed at once upon the report to the president, who advised his arrest for assault and battery as my shoulder was sprained by his effort to put me off. Accordingly I had him arrested and the case tried before Justice Thompson. My shoulder was very lame and swollen, but is better. It is hard for the old slaveholding spirit to die. But die it must.
To make sure that the streetcar conductor was fired
To show how brave and determined both she and her friend were
To stop the injustices of discrimination and hate
