Reason: While I kind of agree with the other photo being the lead, Sojourner Truth sold photographs of herself to support her work, and this is the only one in the article that shows that. It's also really not an article we have a lot of photographs for.

Fun fact: This is the same image used on most of the extant carte-de-visites of her, but in a much more generous crop and higher quality since it's a cabinet card. Which presumably means she had the negatives, since there weren't cabinet cards in 1864. Compare commons:Category:Sojourner Truth
Articles in which this image appears: Sojourner Truth et al.
FP category for this image: Given Frederick Douglass and many suffragettes are already classified there, since they sought political change, Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political.
Creator: Unknown photographer, restored by Adam Cuerden.

Support – the fact that she sold cards to raise money should be sourced/cited in the article's image caption. Bammesk (talk) 04:52, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
