TED-Ed: The breathtaking courage of Harriet Tubman - Janell Hobson

Harriet Tubman, born Araminta Ross, was a key figure in American history. Born into slavery, she overcame numerous hardships, including narcolepsy from a head injury. Tubman married John Tubman, a free Black man, and later escaped to freedom via the Underground Railroad. She returned to the South multiple times to rescue family and others, earning the nickname 'Black Moses.' During the Civil War, she served as a nurse, scout, and spy, leading a successful military raid. Post-war, she advocated for women's suffrage and helped build schools and hospitals for former slaves. Tubman's legacy endures, with her image set to appear on the $20 bill.
