“First of all, you’re born free. Our ancestors were enslaved. Harriet didn’t take people to freedom; she took people out of enslavement. They were already free.”

Interesting interview with two Black lesbian elders working for climate justice from the farm where Harriet Tubman worked to free her family and others:

Is there any way of finding out what became of Angerine and Benjamin Ross? They were the daughter and son of Rachel Ross, who herself was the sister of Harriet Tubman.

Just sayin!

I think #HarrietTubman is a good person to honor today. If you haven't watched, Harriet....it's very good. #CythiaErivo should have been Oscar nominated imho.

Today in Labor History June 2, 1863; Backed by three gunboats, Harriet Tubman and her force of 300 black soldiers freed 750 slaves. Furthermore, they set fire to the plantations and destroyed millions of dollars-worth of stores, cotton and homes of the wealthy, without losing a single man. Additionally, it was the only military engagement in American history where a woman, black or white, “led the raid and under whose inspiration it was originated and conducted.” Tubman devised her war strategy after repeatedly penetrating across enemy lines and spying on Confederate troop movements. In the aftermath, Confederate Captain John F. Lay said, “The enemy seems to have been well posted as to the character and capacity of our troops and their small chance of encountering opposition, and to have been well guided by persons thoroughly acquainted with the river and country.” Most Americans know of Tubman’s role in the Underground Railroad. However, she was also a spy for the Union Army. And in the late 1850s, she helped John Brown plan his raid on Harper’s Ferry and recruit supporters for the raid.

"Abolitionist Harriet Tubman was honored Thursday with a monument in Newark, New Jersey.

The 25-foot work replaced a Christopher Columbus statue that the public condemned amid a wave of social justice activism in 2020, according to CNN. The site itself was renamed last year from Washington Park to Harriet Tubman Square."

Apropos of just remembering that I watched this other night, I enjoyed this documentary.
