Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad | Ann Petry
3 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Born a slave, Harriet Tubman dreamed of freedom. And through hard work and her willingness to risk everything-including her life-she was able to make that dream come true.But after making her escape, Harriet realized that her own freedom was not enough. So she became a conductor on the Underground Railroad, and devoted her life to helping others make the journey out of bondage. An invisible threat to plantation owners, she served as a symbol of strength and inspiration for her people. She was the legendary "Moses," delivering hundreds from the desert of slavery.With indisputable narrative skill, Ann Petry recreates the life of a woman of great strength, bravery, and unshakeable moral fiber.

lynneamch I'm embarrassed that the Tennessee legislature is proposing a bill to "protect freedom of speech on college campuses [which] has been named 'The Milo Bill,' after Breitbart Senior Editor MILO." I say name it after Harriet Tubman or Sojourner Truth! 8y
