When she escape, she ran to freedom, heaven. and because she cared enough for her people, SHE CAME BACK TO HELL, PURE HELL, AND RISK HER LIFE FOR OTHERS. She is an amazing women, I will always love and respect her.
Columbus Day is already claimed by the Native Americans to be Indigenous Americans Day but Harriet Tubman certainly deserves her own Holiday and BIG statue in Washington, DC right next to MLK.
Dear Mrs. Harriet Tubman (Moses) You have been my spirit guide since the first time I saw your life story played by Ms. Cicely Tyson. I was 8yrs old. You were the definition of courage, honor and strength. You are who I always wanted to be. You are my bar I measure strength, determination, dignity, service, honor and God by. I remember as I watched your story night after night. It came on in 3parts. I was mystified by you, I remember thinking you must be a super hero. When you blacked out I thought maybe you were visiting heaven getting some more super strength. Or maybe God was telling you which way to go so you won't get caught. 40yrs later and I still look at you with a child's wonder and amazement. I still think of you as my spirit guide. I hope you see me and is proud of me. Just as I am so very proud of you. Maybe when I get to heaven you will be waiting for me. Maybe you will guide me to freedom the pearly gates. Maybe we will sip on coffee as I ask you a million questions, maybe you will tell of some of your adventures. Thank you for being the epitome of Courage, thank you for being my guardian angel. Thank you for being unwavering uncompromising in your stance for justice. Thank you Mrs. Harriet. I thank you deeply..
I DON'T RECALL BEING TAUGHT MUCH ABOUT HER IN SCHOOL.... I REMEMBER THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD BUT NOT MUCH ELSE... WHAT A SHAME...SO MUCH OF BLACK HISTORY WASN'T TAUGHT BACK IN THE 50s ... SO INTERESTING TO LEARN MORE TODAY .....
@@elainegoad2111 I grew up on Long Island in the 60's in a very " white" suburb, and was taught all about her. Can't speak for other places, but fell in love with her/ her story as a major part of American history.
We just watched this movie 🎥 & what a brave woman she was ..... an amazing wonderful & just awesome person you get so afraid for her almost getting caught helping other slaves to freedom .... God was with her ....and kept her alive & her faith has renewed mine I thought I lost long ago ... God Bless your resting soul, Harriet .... you ARE a soldier for the Lord . 🌿💐🌿 11-9-19
So far this is the only video about Harriet Tubman that I've seen that even talks about her revolver, and what a badass she was. When my daughter told me they learned about her in school I asked her about it. No revolver mentioned, no plantation fights. I had to educate my daughter.
I need a full length series of her life with THIS Harriet. One who has eyes of steel from the jump. Who relies heavy on Spirit and it never fails her once in her life! 🙏🏾🕯🖤
Thank you for your Bravery ,Beliefs, Courage, and Actions, Harriet. I first read about you in the 4th grade, and you gave me courage.I was born in 1942 and worked in the late 50s and the 60's to help us move forward and gain what freedom that should have been ours. Our fare share in of this country, better jobs, housing ,education, etc.THANK YOU HARRIET !!
u no i look in her face i c the pain not just hate her face tells the story 4real like im kool.... but pissed dnt no what she went through but i feel it when i look at her...rip
She is an amazing woman. She not only thought of her own freedom, but the freedom of my people from the bondage of slavery and risked her own life several times to do so. Harriet Tubman really deserves the $100.00 dollar bill 👍🏾👍🏾
I've been fascinated with her since I learned about her in Elementary school. I also remember watching the movie about her called "Moses" with Cicily Tyson. Can't wait to see the new movie!
Jeff you are incorrect! There are numerous documents to support that not only was the great Harriet Tubman an "Abductor," someone who actually went into slave territory to rescue enslaved Africans. But she was also, indeed, without question, a nurse, a cook, a spy and a scout for the Union Army. Specifically, as it relates to the "Cambahee River Raid" on June 2, 1863. She scouted the area ahead of the raid. Providing General Montgomery with valuable information about the "land mines" that were place in the water, to keep Union boats from passing through the area. She also provided a thorough scouting report on the plantations along the river as well. When the raid took place, SHE and a number of Colored troops went on land to rescue my ancestors! It is well documented in the newspapers of that day in bold headlines! Do the research! Outside of this, it is also well documented in Catherine Clinton's book "Harriet Tubman: Road To Freedom." Harriet Tubman was the first and only female to lead troops into battle during the Civil War (The Cambahee River Raid). And, just for the record, she was given a full military burial and is buried in a military cemetery...given full military honors! I rest my point!!
I suggest you learn the truth. Undocumented stories don't cut it. Show me primary sources that ever said she went into the interior. Show me where she "led" the troops. She played a vital role in the Department of the South, but not the story you are familiar with. Get the book Combahee River Raid and learn the real story.
Maceo Leon Thomas Harriet Tubman never received a military pension for her work w/ the Union as a spy...how she did receive a military pension was from her second husband, Nelson Davis, who was the 'official' veteran. She was barely paid $200 for her services while with the military.
Harriet Tubman saw justice clearly and all her life gave a very diverse harvest of virtuous actions. "The virtues of the seed are revealed in the tree; it puts forth branches, leaves, blossoms, and produces fruits." -Abdu’l-Baha, Universal Peace
Harriet Tubman's resume extends well beyond her work on the underground railroad. She was also a covert operative for the Union army! Learn more tonight at 9 PM on Civil War 360: Fight for Freedom bit.ly/1wJ7016
Smithsonian Channel Unfortunately not one bit of this is true. This is a myth that has been perpetuated by 20th century writers who didn't do their homework. There is absolutely no documentary evidence that she planned, or led the raid or ever went behind enemy lines as a spy or scout. I suggest the book, "Combahee River Raid, Harriet Tubman and Lowcountry Liberation" The History Press 2014. Also the river is pronounced Cum-bee. Please Smithsonian at least do your homework and get the story correct.
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Harriet Tubman home in Upstate New York. The museum presentation and tour was fantastic. What a moving story and inspiring woman! Please feel free to check out the video on my page!
Harriet risked her life for everyone so I think her to this day I love her if she was still living and I would have found her and would of gave her a big thankyou 😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Tanya Brooks no he is right, only dozens. Please be logical. How can one woman rescue thousands? Large numbers would been detected. Even when she scouted for the union army and participated in raids to free slaves- it was not thousands. I admire and love her as an ancestor but let’s let go of the myth of Harriet Tubman so we can get to the truth.
Very phenomenal woman.. She did alot of positive things alot of you haters wont never get to do... I applaud her for the work she did.. Its only obvious whatever she did made alot of African Americans lifes better then what it was... Nd she has documentaries, books as well as other things.. What do you have to look forward to other then being a hater and hating on a grown ass woman who help free some slaves...
I learned about her when I was a teenager. I was the san Francisco public library and dropped a book by accident; when I picked it up her name was on the cover. It was a fascinating story. If I had some kind of polítical power; I would name her the first female soldier in the united states.
Queen nanny, Yaa asentewaa, and Harriet Tubman were so much alike strong women who led bravely with courage. Also they Tubman was rumoured to be descendants of Ashanti's. Queen nanny of Jamaica and yaa asentewaa of Ghana were also Ashanti's.
bklynAtrain you are kidding me? I went to school in the 70' and 80s and I was taught about her. (I am white an live in a rural area that is mostly white people) Edit--I want to add as a kid when I learned about her I thought she was so brave.. as a kid when I first heard about the underground railroad , I use to think the underground railroad was actual trains that went underground, freeing slaves. I cant think of a better choice to put on our money.
416mcp Not kidding. I was never taught about her in school. Being from the baby boomer generation, a lot of things were not taught or brought out to the light like it is today.
bklynAtrain I am the end of the baby boomer generation, beginning of X, I think they we are tweeners.They taught us about the underground railroad, I think in reading class. I really remember being surprised the underground railroad were not real trains. I probably knew this stuff b/c of my mom too. I remember watching movie on TV about Harriet Tubman. We also watched the mini series Roots.We watched the PBS series on segregation. My mom told me the story of when my uncle and his friend went down south and sat in the back of the bus with black people (50 or 60's). He didn't know anything about segregation. He didn't know why people were looking at him. For some reason always made me laugh. We are white northerners. My mom and dad grew up in depression and we didn't have much money. Mom I guess you would say believed in social justice but very nonassuming. I could in vision her being the person. that if she were in back in the day of Harriet, would not have been a leader, but if she saw a run away slave she would never tell a soul and let them get away (maybe with a little food to tide them over) I was also taught in school how the Indians were taken advantage off, separated from their families, and about the Trail of Tears. People will post that they never heard of that too. I can not believe my school was that great and teaching us about history (we were taught good things too and said the pledge of allegiance every day in grade school). Sometimes I think people just were paying attention or forgot. I know there are many things that didn't interest me that I forgot about.
416mcp We did learn about slavery and runaway slavery, but not much. I learned that stuff by watching Roots. LOL. Your parents did a great job raising you. They set a fine example for many.
bklynAtrain Roots was a good mini series. I still remember Kuntu Kinte. I think there is a scene where he is being whipped and he yells his name if Kuntu Kinte.
Are you from St.Catharines Ontario were Harriet Tubman still has a church that's now being renovated and why I ask is we have people with your last name living here.
When she escape, she ran to freedom, heaven. and because she cared enough for her people, SHE CAME BACK TO HELL, PURE HELL, AND RISK HER LIFE FOR OTHERS. She is an amazing women, I will always love and respect her.
Yes sister countless times she did this I love the Cisely Tyson Movie about her
@Christopher Smith Wow
"Slavery was a choice "
Ask kim and kanye Kardashian
Amen!
Wow!! She Deserves A National Holiday! Long Live Harriet Tubman.😘👊🏽🙏🏽
I agree!
I also agree!!
Whites would rather celebrate Christopher Columbus day. When he didnt find nothing.
I know she is black and NOT a white woman.
@@suntemple3121 does that matter?
You can see the stress and pain in her face and her eyes. She endured a lot but, persevered.
She deserves a feature length film and a DC monument, a sizable DC monument.
I agree! She sure does!
stp479 Her movie comes out in November 💙 She definitely deserves a monument too! She should’ve already had one 😔
💯
She does now! Go check the trailer out
There is a new movie hope you heard of it and saw it came out this year November 1
Possibly the most interesting woman in US history, What a story!
Kanye says nooo
So is Hillary Clinton
@@preetham973 what did he say again? I know he said something about her but I forgot what it was
Yeah; and thanks to her, I know that real courage is bravely moving forward even when you’re scared.
One little woman who did so much more in her lifetime and survived .
This is the part they leave out in school for some reason, the most important and interesting.
Not by accident
@@valoriegonzales1312 If you're from the US, you should have learned about her in elementary school.

Emily &Daisy are you able to help me get some information for harriet tubman? I can give my discord

She needs her own holiday. Instead of Christopher Columbus Day we should switch it to Harriet Tubman day
👍
LA L Right !! Columbus never came to America and we celebrate a day in his honor.
Bliss Blissful which makes no sense.
LA L Exactly. America is backwards.
Columbus Day is already claimed by the Native Americans to be Indigenous Americans Day but Harriet Tubman certainly deserves her own Holiday and BIG statue in Washington, DC right next to MLK.
Harriet Tubman is my idol and she should be yours too she should be everyone's Idol she made me the person I am today
I love her to death but since I'm a Christian she can't be my idol but she is the best women to me and I admire her very much
mine too, she was as close as it gets to be a real life superhero
Tubman is the original wonder woman warrior oee
