Harriet Tubman – 1821-1913
Harriet Tubman was born into slavery, but ran north to freedom at the age of 28, guided by the North Star. Then this woman worked on the Underground Railroad to free other African Americans. Over the next 16 years she made daring forays into the South, disguised as an old, half-crazy woman. She would sing songs with hidden messages in them, advising people to prepare for their escape. In this way the courageous Harriet Tubman was able to lead over 300 Black people from slavery to freedom.
