Harriet Tubman Liberated Herself 170 Years Back, Today
Today marks the one hundred seventieth anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s self-liberation from American slavery.
Having attempted escape before from Maryland slaveholders, on foot and through forest after forest toward Pennsylvania, and having failed, on 19 September 1849 Ms Tubman prevailed. When she had realised she’d crossed into a free state, she said he looked at her hands and felt as if she was a new person.
