Harriet Tubman is renowned for her crucial role as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. After escaping slavery herself, she courageously returned to the South multiple times to lead others to freedom, providing guidance to many who found their own paths. Her dedication didn’t stop there. In 1862, Tubman joined the Union Army as a nurse and served in various roles, including army scout and spy. She made history as the first woman to lead an armed expedition during the Civil War—the Combahee River Raid—liberating over 700 enslaved individuals.
After the Civil War, Ms. Tubman continued to advocate for the causes she believed in. She became an active suffragist, championing women’s right to vote, and worked tirelessly to provide care for newly freed people, young and old. Harriet Tubman’s life exemplified an unwavering pursuit of freedom in every aspect of American life.
<strong>Observe:</strong> The pattern depicts a confident Harriet Tubman gazing into the distant and towards the future during her post-Civil War years. “HARRIET TUBMAN,” “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2024” are among the inscriptions.
<strong>Reverse:</strong> The illustration shows two people firmly holding onto one another’s arms, signifying the support and assistance Harriet Tubman provided to others during her life. The seven basic ideals of Harriet Tubman—“FAITH,” “FREEDOM,” “FAMILY,” “COMMUNITY,” “SELF-DETERMINATION,” “SOCIAL JUSTICE,” and “EQUALITY”—are inscribed around the arms. “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “$5”, and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” are among the other inscriptions.
