Description
Harriet Tubman was born in Dorchester County, Maryland circa 1822. She escaped slavery and thereafter became a famous Underground Railroad conductor. Using nothing but nightfall, cleverness, and powers of intuition, the illiterate conductor of the Underground Railroad “never lost a passenger” while shepherding approximately seventy slaves to freedom. During the Civil War, Tubman served as a scout, a nurse, and courageously led an armed assault on a group of plantations that freed 750 slaves. Later in life, she was a promoter of women’s suffrage, working with Susan B. Anthony and others. Her image is slated to appear on the front of the twenty-dollar bill in 2020.
