🎇🎇I can’t let this month end without celebrating the positive legacy of Harriet Tubman and her role as a Positivity Catalyst in the Struggle for FREEDOM💚🖤

🤎♥Tubman's legacy is one of courage, selflessness, and self-determination. She fought for her own freedom and the freedom of others, and she never gave up, even in the face of danger and adversity.🪷🪷

🤎 Tubman was a bold, remarkable and tenacious woman who lived during the 19th century and is known for her significant contributions to the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad. ❤❤

✅ Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in Maryland in 1822.

✅ She escaped slavery in 1849 and made her way to Philadelphia, where she became an active participant in the Underground Railroad.

✅ Over the course of ten years, Tubman made 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends.

✅ During the Civil War, Tubman served as a nurse, cook, and spy for the Union Army.

✅ After the war, Tubman continued to fight for civil rights and women's suffrage.

✅ Tubman was also known as "Moses" among the enslaved people she helped to escape, as she was seen as leading them to freedom just as the biblical figure led the Israelites out of Egypt.

✅ In addition to her work as an abolitionist and women's rights activist, Tubman was also a suffragist, and worked alongside Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

✅ Tubman suffered from health problems throughout her life, including seizures caused by a traumatic head injury sustained when she was young but this did not hamper her vision and mission.

✅Tubman passed away on March 10, 1913, in Auburn, New York. She was buried with military honors at Fort Hill Cemetery.

✅ In 2020, the US Treasury announced that Harriet Tubman's image would be featured on the new $20 bill, replacing Andrew Jackson.


“Now I’ve been free, I know what a dreadful condition slavery is. I have seen hundreds of escaped slaves, but I never saw one who was willing to go back and be a slave.”

“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.”

“Oh, Lord! You’ve been with me in six troubles, don’t desert me in the seventh!”
