DETERMINATION that someday she would be free, as she felt it was her God given right.
As a married woman, now called Harriet Tubman, she took the ACTIONS necessary
to follow this dream and emancipated herself.
A compassionate LEADER with much FAITH and LOVE for her family, she returns to the south, the l
and of slavery to RESCUE her family and up to 300 people.

people that SUPPORTED her and many others in their quest for freedom.
A demonstration of what people can do when they work together.
Harriet Tubman was a VETERAN of the Civil War. As a scout and a spy, she was one of the first women

advocate for human, civil and women's rights.
