Harriet Tubman: The Woman Called Moses
Harriet Tubman was a remarkable woman who cared more about leading slaves to freedom than about her own safety. The likelihood of her capture and return into slavery increased each trip she made into slave territory. Because of her courage, over 300 slaves gained their freedom and she earned the name “the Moses of her people.”
