This biography about Harriet Tubman simply tells the life long story of the woman who was considered the Moses for ending African American slavery.
After not only being born into slavery, Harriet was a slave for most of her life. As she continued to hear about the Underground Railroad from other field workers she became courageous and intrigued, longing to find freedom. She took the railroad up north to Philadelphia and from then on helped rescue and lead to freedom over seventy slaves. Her life is evidence of what determination and hope can lead to, not only in her own life but in our society today.
