Harriet Tubman is celebrated for her pivotal role as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. After successfully escaping slavery, she courageously returned to the South multiple times to guide others to freedom, providing instruction to many who sought their own paths.
In 1862, Tubman joined the Union Army, serving as a nurse, scout, and spy. Notably, she became the first woman to lead an armed expedition during the Civil War—the Combahee River Raid—resulting in the liberation of over 700 enslaved individuals.
After the Civil War, Tubman remained dedicated to her advocacy work. She was an active suffragist, fighting for women’s right to vote, and worked tirelessly to care for newly freed people of all ages. Harriet Tubman’s life exemplified an unwavering commitment to freedom and justice in every facet of American life.
