Harriet Tubman

Abolitionist / Soldier · American · 19th c.

American abolitionist and soldier (1822–1913). Born a slave, she escaped and used the secret escape route called the "Underground Railroad" to free over 70 slaves — "the Moses of her people." During the Civil War she worked as a Union Army spy and scout. In her later years she fought for women's suffrage. Called the "Moses of her people," she remains the supreme American figure of courage in the service of freedom.
