| Harriet Tubman 1820 - 1913 Also known as Mosses |
Harriet represented what it means to be American. Holding on dearly to the struggle for freedom, equality, justice and self-determination. (Bound for the promised land)
In 1820 Harriet was born into slavery and begun working in the fields at the age of 12 and was soon being hired out to work various plantations. As a teenager she was struck in the head by a iron weight nearly killing her, she survived but suffered from the debilitating effects of eplipesy for the rest of her life.
