Harriet Tubman
After escaping slavery herself, this remarkable woman risked everything to free others. She made 19 dangerous journeys on the Underground Railroad, carrying a pistol and using herbal remedies to keep her “passengers” safe. Not a single person was lost under her watch. During the Civil War, Tubman also served as a Union spy and led a raid that freed over 700 slaves. Her unflinching courage earned her the nickname “Moses” among those she helped rescue.
