Harriet Tubman - Mastermind Behind the Underground Railroad

Broads You Should Know

Continuing our celebration of Black History Month, guest Amelia Hammel brings us one of the most iconic Black Broads in American History - Harriet Tubman!

Born into enslavement, Harriet Tubman suffered great at the hands of her "owners" including, one night as a six-year-old, taking at hit to the head by a metal tub. This skull cracking moment would forever change her life - instilling her with a god-given mission to help free as many enslaved people as she could.

What follows is a lifetime of not only forging the Underground Railroad and helping almost a thousand people find freedom, but also a strong feminist voice in a world where non-white women's advocacy was seldom heard and never appreciated.
