An Inspiring Life
Harriet Tubman Online Exhibit Virtual Guest Curator Walk-through

Harriet Tubman was enslaved, escaped, and helped others gain their freedom as a “conductor" of the Underground Railroad. She became an outspoken advocate for African American and women's rights, insisting that all be afforded dignity, treated with respect and granted equality.

This program is a part of NWHM's Black History Month celebration in honor of generations of African American women who struggled through adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society, and who have led, acted, inspired, and advocated for a better present and future for all generations of Americans.
