Meet "Harriet Tubman" at Juneteenth Jubilee
Born Araminta Ross, Harriet Tubman lived as a slave on a Maryland plantation. Frequently threatened, beaten, whipped, and starved, Ms. Tubman’s indomitable spirit could not be broken. Suffering from a head wound incurred when a furious overseer aimed a two-pound weight at another slave, but missed, Harriet Tubman suffered from seizures for the rest of her life. But even this daunting physical obstacle could not keep her from her freeing herself and freeing others from slavery. A Union spy during the Civil War as well as a nurse, Ms. Tubman directed her consider energies towards humanitarian causes that included women’s suffrage after the war.
