More information

 
Harriet Tubman - Moses
 
Harriet Tubman was free. She had escaped from slavery. To help other slaves escape, she became a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. Escaping slaves knew they could count on her. None of the 300 slaves who walked the freedom trail behind Harriet were ever captured. Wow! Her RELIABILITY rate was 100% - totally dependable for the people who needed her.

Quotes:

    "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

    "I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other."

    "I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves."

    "I looked at my hands, to see if I was the same person now that I was free. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over de fields, and I felt like I was in heaven."

Fun Facts
  • Whom did Harriet rescue first as a conductor on the Underground Railroad? Sister, brother-in-law and their children. She helped her brother-in-law, John Bowley, bring his family to Pennsylvania. John Tubman fell in love with another woman after Harriet ran away.
  • All of Harriet's 19 Underground Railroad trips to the south were made either by foot or in wagons pulled by horses. When she freed slaves, she often carried a rifle and said, 'Go on with us or die.' if slaves were wanting to give up. (It also had a double meaning because if they were caught escaping, they'd be put to death.)
  • Harriet guided more than 300 slaves to freedom.
