Continuing our celebration of Black History Month, guest Amelia Hammel brings us one of the most iconic Black Broads in American History - Harriet Tubman!
Born into enslavement, Harriet Tubman suffered great at the hands of her "owners" including, one night as a six-year-old, taking at hit to the head by a metal tub. This skull cracking moment would forever change her life - instilling her with a god-given mission to help free as many enslaved people as she could.
What follows is a lifetime of not only forging the Underground Railroad and helping almost a thousand people find freedom, but also a strong feminist voice in a world where non-white women's advocacy was seldom heard and never appreciated.
