Abolitionists, Angelina Grimke and Sarah Grimke were two sisters in South Carolina who made history. They dared to speak before mixed crowds of men and women, published some of the most powerful anti-slavery tracts of the antebellum era, and became the first women to testify before a state legislature on the question of African American rights.
