哈丽特塔布曼
马里兰展览标签多尔切斯特郡出生,出生在奴隶制作为亚诺米塔萝丝,哈丽雅特·塔布曼反抗奴役从她记事起,逃跑早在七岁。在十五,她不顾一个监工,差点当他给了她一个“惊人的打击。”Although the effects of the blow stayed with her throughout her life, Tubman marshaled her resolve and nurtured her anger. In 1844 she married a freedman, John Tubman, and in 1849 she escaped to Philadelphia, discarding her slave name for her mother’s name, Harriet. Tubman became an active "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, guiding escaping slaves to freedom. She made nineteen recorded trips out of the South and was reputed never to have lost a soul. Tubman was active throughout the abolitionist movement and conspired with John Brown about raiding the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, although she did not participate.
