Harriet Tubman

Harriet
Courageous, Strong, Loving, and Strong-Minded
Friend to all slaves
Lover of her family, freedom, and the North
Who feels joyful when she makes a safe passage, sadness when reminded of slavery and determination in freeing all slaves
Who finds happiness in helping others
Who needs help when conducting her train
Who gives new life to those who thought they would forever be enslaved
Who fears losing her family, being sold while she was a slave, and being caught by the angry whites once she escapes
Who would like to see all people, white and black, be treated as equals
Who enjoys her freedom
Who likes to wear bandanas when thinking of her days in slavery
Resident of Auburn New York
Tubman

  2. I really like this!! I really enjoy learning about Harriet Tubman, what a strong lady. She had to endure so much and I love how she has so many books and things to tell her troubles and obstacles that she had to overcome.
