In this special episode of PODIUM, acclaimed actress Nia Long delivers an impassioned reading of Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I A Women" speech, perhaps the most famous oration in American history championing women's voting rights. On the eve of the 2012 presidential election, Truth's message, brought to life by Long's strong voice, reminds all American women of our responsibility to exercise our right to vote and let our voices be heard.
