Harriet Tubman is commonly described as a courageous, determined, and fearless “Moses of her people”; however, she was a human being who stood boldly and proudly against the systems of oppression and racism by leading formerly enslaved individuals to freedom. The multiple freedom missions that Tubman made back and forth to the Eastern Shore of Maryland attest to her massive humanistic drive for equality and strength to persevere, despite her own physical challenges.
This presentation will help participants make the connection between Harriet Tubman: the Civil War nurse, spy, scout, Underground Railroad conductor, & entrepreneur, and Harriet Tubman: the faith-filled wife, mother, sister, aunt, and community member. This will be an opportunity to learn about her unconditional love and desire to serve her community and meet the basic needs of the elderly, sick, and disabled.
Presented by Brittany Lane, Lead Ranger of the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park.
