Araminta Harriet Greene Tubman (1820 - 1913), known as the "Moses of her People", spent her life fighting slavery, helping slaves flee for freedom in the underground railroads, and fought for women's rights. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery and married a free black, John Tubman and fleed slavery through the underground railroads. Harriet Tubman fled to Philadelphia to escape her husband who threatened to sell her to slavery in the south for helping to free other slaves. Throughout 10 years Harriet Tubman helped rescue over 300 slaves flee the south and escape slavery. Harriet Tubman worked as a nurse, a scout and a spy for the Union during the Civil War.

Harriet did not accept the life that was chosen for her, she fought for her freedom and the freedom of other slaves. Harriet Tubman was a strong courageous woman and is a great inspiration to many people. She is a true icon in history.

Some words of wisdom from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

The time is always right to do what is right.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
