Hey, Grace’rs,
Some quotes from Harriet Tubman.
Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and political activist. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was on of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive.
God’s time is always near. He set the North Star in the heavens; He gave me the strength in my limbs; He meant I should be free.
..and I prayed to God to make me strong and able to fight, and that’s what I’ve always prayed for ever since.
When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven.
I said to the Lord, I’m going to hold steady on to you, and I know you will see me through.
