Stanton : Truth Dialogue
Sojourner: Hello Ms. stanton. It surely is a pleasant surprise to be having you as our guest of honor here today.
Stanton: Well thank you Ms. Truth. Yes it is most surprising indeed to actually believe once upon a time ago we may not have been allowed to converse one another in a manner just so befitting polite.
strangers.
Truth: You know, all the fancy gadgetry technology has allowed for,has made it possible for a person of any creed, religion, or complexion to speak to anyone anywhere. Thanx to your Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions it is strongly witheld we need not be subservient . We can even be honest.
Stanton: For sure Sojourner, we have a great many bright and warm souls to be appreciative of for hearing us in our silence of course "Ain't I a Woman" is versed repeatedly many times over across the "air waves" and in schools and yes we can be honest with people in distant horizons. We still have got a great many obstacles, not just far and abroad where tyranny and dictatorship opress and poison our mothers and sisters, but still at home in here in our schools and communities.

Assignment: Stanton and Truth Dialogue
Stanton: All men and women are to be treated with equality!
Truth: I agree! That man over there says that women should be cared for and deserve nothing but the best.
Stanton: Yes, we shall be treated with the same respect as all men and not be deprived from "Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness"!
Truth: But no man ever thinks about helping me nor making me happy!
Stanton: That is true! We feel degraded everyday! We are invisible and kept away from the most important rights!
Truth: These men say that we can't have as much rights as they do because "Christ wasn't a woman". THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!!
Stanton: That is disappointing. These men would go out of their way to destroy our confidence.
Truth: Unacceptable! If Mary was brave enough change the world on her own, WE too can change this inequality and make it right again!
Stanton: Absolutely right! We shall use all of our energy and power to speak our minds and never give up until we are heard!

If Stanten and Sojourner were to have a conversation, I think it would go something like this:
Sojourner: How do you feel women are represented in history?
Stanten: The history of women consists of men doing awful things to women. One after another.
Sojourner: It is as if as women, we have always been enslaved- enslaved to men.
Stanten: Women cannot even make the same amount of money as men for doing the exact same jobs. What kind of world do we live in that is so passively unfair to human beings who are born as equals.
Sojourner: Women are just as capable as men and it is about time we are all respected in the same light.
Stanten: America is meant to be a country of equality- that is a joke. It is something we need to fight for endlessly until complete equality is achieved.

Assignment: Stanton and Truth Dialogue
Stanton: Hello Ms. Truth.
Truth: Hello Ms. Stanton.
Stanton: We sure have come a long way in the fight for women's liberty.
Truth: Yes but the war is not over yet, injustice is everywhere.
Stanton: I aggree. I know that due to the difference in our color may have resulted in a vastly different view of the entire situation, but I am glad that we can come together to discuss the mistreatment of all women, no matter there race or religion.
Truth: Indeed, some say that we can't have the same rights as men based on the religion they follow, I say that's ridiculous.
Stanton: I believe that's the same reason they just so happened to leave women out of the Declaration of Independence, because independence for a women from a man would be too tall an order.
Truth: Well if the first women that God created turned the whole world upside down, I think that you and me did a right good job of flipping it back again.
Stanton: I do believe we did.

Elizabeth Cady Staton and Sojourner Truth in Conversation
Hello and good afternoon Mrs. Sojourner Truth, I am so humble to meet you. I notice that we both are from the New York area. I fell in love with you the very first time I heard about you and the great work that you had been doing for women. I am so thankful for your efforts on abolition as well as women’s rights, after all you have endured to find it inside of you to speak up on women’s right at a time when women was not heard is commendable.
Like you I was very active in making a change for women, I led the American women’s rights movement as well as try obtaining the right for women to vote, to divorce and to be equal to men. These are some very difficult task, but because of the road which you have paved your work must continue through people like myself. We honor and adore you as women.

Truth and Stanton Conversation
Sojourner Truth and Elizabeth Stanton sit down for tea one day in heaven.
“Can you believe how much freedom women have down at Earth? Its amazing Sojourner!,” Elizabeth takes a sip from her teacup. A warm breeze flows through heaven. Sojourner dips her cracker in her cup.
“I can't believe we made such an impact with helping getting women rights,” Sojourner takes a sip from her cup, making a slight slurp, “It was unfortunate for me as an African American and as a woman. It is good that everything is doing good down there.”
“That is right. The women down there have many rights that we had to fight for such as having the right to vote, owning property, having an education and a career,” says Elizabeth.
“Women are capable of doing anything a man can do,” Sojourner dabs a napkin on her lips to remove the cracker crumbs, “Just look at how productive women were doing during World War II. They worked their butts off and proved themselves.”
“They sure did. Women contributed at home, while the men were overseas,” says Elizabeth.
“Women down there are lucky. Its good to see how our struggle changed everything,” Sojourner says.
“Yes they are. Their rights are still changing to this day. I'm glad we did our part to help out. Would you please pass the sugar?,” Elizabeth says.
“Sure thing. Let us enjoy our tea time,” Sojourner says. Elizabeth and Sojourner both clink their teacups and smile at each other. Both are proud to know the impact they made while they were on Earth.

Stanton and Truth Conversation:
Stanton: “How blessed I am to be visited in a dream by you, although we both as woman have served through unfair laws, I’m sure your experiences were far worse.”
Truth: “Yes we have, for me it was as if I wasn't even human.”
Stanton: “I’m sorry Mrs., Truth I couldn't even imagine.
Truth: “The laws of society need to benefit women of any color, not just the white female community. I only wish I could take part in the unjust laws you face but I cannot.“
Stanton: “this is sadly true, we are given freedoms but even those freedoms come with an expected roll for woman to play. Do not worry progress has been made.”
Truth: “ Ahh, how wonderful it won’t all be beautiful but it can only get better from here . All we can do is inspire and pave the way for our future women to use their voice.
Stanton: “I agree the words you spoke in your day and the words I speak today will guide our future generations until we to be seen as equals to men.”
