"I grew up like a neglected weed, ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it. Now I've been free, I know what a dreadful condition slavery is." Harriet Tubman ran away from slavery in 1849, walking one hundred miles to freedom in the North. For the next sixteen years, Tubman risked her newfound freedom, and her life, to help about three hundred other slaves escape. During the Civil War, Tubman worked as a nurse and a scout for the Union army, and in her later years, she joined the struggle for the education of her people and for women's rights. 650 10 $a Tubman, Harriet, 1822-1913 $d 1822-1913 $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Slaves $x Juvenile literature. $x Biography $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American women $x Juvenile literature. $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Juvenile literature. $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Underground Railroad $x Juvenile literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006012649.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20210818013856.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85BA3D52BCF511EAA1925DFC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
