Black History Month: Harriett Tubman
Jersey Is Naked would like to honor Harriett Tubman. Her contribution to our freedom makes me proud to be an African-American.
Her “underground railroad” was an intricate network of secret escape routes and safe houses that helped lead more than 70 slaves out of the South during the Civil War, and into free states where slavery was against the law.
A former slave herself, Tubman went on to become a Union spy and a military scout, and was the first American woman ever to lead armed troops into battle, at one point liberating more than 700 slaves in South Carolina. These achievements would secure her historical prominence as a guardian angel during our nation’s only internal war.
