Did You Know: Harriet Tubman, often called the "Moses" of the Underground Railroad, made 19 daring trips to rescue approximately 300 enslaved people from bondage, never losing a single passenger along the way?

Born into slavery in Maryland in the early 1820s, Harriet Tubman escaped to freedom in 1849. However, she didn't stop there. With unmatched courage and determination, she returned to the South numerous times over the course of a decade to lead others to freedom.

Tubman used a network of secret safe houses and covert routes known as the Underground Railroad to guide enslaved people to liberty in the North. She became legendary for her ability to avoid capture and navigate treacherous terrain, earning her the nickname "Moses" for her role in leading her people to the promised land of freedom.

Her incredible efforts, often conducted under the cover of darkness, saved hundreds of lives and left an indelible mark on American history. Tubman's legacy as a freedom fighter and advocate for equality and justice continues to inspire generations to this day.
