Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman (c. 1822β1913) was an American abolitionist, freedom fighter, and conductor of the Underground Railroad. Born into slavery, she escaped in 1849 β and then fearlessly returned over a dozen times to rescue more than 70 enslaved people, leading them to freedom under the cover of night.
During the Civil War, she served as a scout, spy, and nurse for the Union Army, becoming the first woman to lead an armed military operation in the U.S. Her faith, vision, and iron will turned her into a national symbol of courage and resistance.
Tubman's life was a living testament to the power of one voice, one dream, and one womanβs refusal to let chains define her destiny.
