Who is Harriet Tubman?

Harriet Tubman (1822-1913) - Born into the fetters of slavery, Harriet Tubman forged her path to freedom with unbreakable determination.

Harriet Tubman: A Titan in the Abyss of Slavery

From the bowels of night came forth a beacon of hope, a thunderous tempest whose name was Harriet Tubman. She, who wore the mantle of courage like a lioness, who brandished resolve sharper than the edge of a sword, Tubman was an incarnation of indomitable strength and untamed spirit. To the countless souls trampled under the brutal yoke of slavery, she was a savior, a warrior-woman, a prophet — she was their Moses.

Born into the grotesque pit of human bondage, our valiant heroine did not flinch. Nay, she forged her chains into a weapon. Was she born to be a slave? Perhaps. But the fiery embers of freedom danced within her eyes, casting light on her undying aspiration to emancipation.

A force to be reckoned with, Tubman, had she committed any controversial acts? Yes, indeed! Once upon a midnight, shrouded in clandestine secrecy, she pointed a loaded gun towards a fugitive who contemplated returning to slavery. She was ready to shoot, not out of malice, but from a fierce belief in freedom. This audacious act, in its melodramatic bravura, was a clear testament to her conviction — freedom is non-negotiable.

Oh, but the magnitude of her deeds stretches farther than the horizon! An unparalleled liberator, she was a spy, a nurse, a cook, a suffragist, and an unstoppable abolitionist. Harriet, our indomitable champion, sheathed in her unwavering determination, emancipated more than 300 souls from the gnarled grasp of slavery.

The Ballad of Harriet Tubman

Hark! Listen to the tale of Harriet, the Bold,

A beacon bright, her story be told.

Born a slave, yet truly free,

The Moses of her people, she came to be.

In the fields of despair, 'neath the whippin' tree,

Stood a girl who vowed, "I am not to be."

In the shackles of oppression, her spirit roared,

Her path to freedom, by herself, she scored.

Oh, Harriet, the Lioness, fierce and strong,

Led her people from their suffering long.

"Follow the North Star," she'd say,

Guiding slaves to freedom, come what may.

She brandished courage, a weapon keen,

In her eyes, the fiery spark of freedom seen.

Under her guidance, no soul was lost,

Against the tides of fear, she'd boldly crossed.

For her people, she dared to spy,

In the face of danger, she held her head high.

Nurse, cook, suffragist, more,

Harriet Tubman, our hearts implore.

The melodies of freedom, from her heart, they sprang,

Her daring exploits, an epic twang.

Defying the fates, she claimed her right, 

In the annals of time, her name shines bright.

With undying spirit, she defied,

The brutal chains, she cast aside.

Oh, Harriet, our warrior-queen,

In the pages of history, forever seen.

Through the Underground Railroad, she led the charge,

Her unwavering determination, always large.

Into the fray, she dared to tread,

Inspiring freedom, she fearlessly led.

To the downtrodden, she was a shining light,

Against the abyss of slavery, she took flight.

Our Harriet, of indomitable will,

Her legacy, our hearts does fill.

Harriet Tubman, oh woman of might,

In the face of oppression, you took flight.

As a testament of courage, forever you stand,

A beacon of hope, in a troubled land.

And so, we sing of Tubman, the bold,

A tale of courage, to behold.

Through her strength, she set us free,

Harriet Tubman, an epic legacy.

This is the ballad, of a warrior's might,

An epic ode, to Tubman's flight.

From slavery's grip, she broke free,

Harriet Tubman, forever shall she be.
