A Legacy of Freedom

Tubman's unwavering commitment to helping enslaved people escape to freedom led her to undertake 13 daring missions into the treacherous slave territory. Disguised as a man, she guided over 300 slaves to their emancipation, earning her the title of "The Moses of Her People."

Her unwavering determination and resourceful planning became her most potent weapons. She used the secrets of the night, the knowledge of the terrain, and a network of allies to guide her charges to safety.

Rosa Parks: "The Mother of the Civil Rights Movement"
