After going to court to recover her son in 1828 ,she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man

 

 

 

 

 

Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech Delivered at the 1851 Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio

Artest sees the effort as extension to his mental health awareness efforts, which included testifying before Congress on behalf of the Mental Health in Schools Act, appearing in a public service announcement with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, raffling off his own championship ring for $651,006 for various mental health charities and filming a reality show that involves rehabilitating inmates at various correctional facilities.  "This has actual meaning to it," Artest said his name, Metta, a Buddhist term that is defined as a "strong wish for the welfare and happiness of others."
