"She braved every danger, overcame every obstacle."
Born a slave, Harriet Tubman dreamed of being free. And she was willing to risk everything--including her life--to make that dream come true.
After her dangerous escape, Harriet saw that her own liberty wasn't enough and became a conductor on the secret Underground Railroad, helping others make the perilous journey out of bondage.
Along the way, Harriet suffered betrayal and a broken heart, but she always symbolized strength and inspiration. She was a legendary "Moses," a hero delivering hundreds from the desert of slavery and giving them the greatest gift one can give: freedom.
