Must be dark down there in that tunnel.
shareWhere is the Harriet Tubman movie? This lady was practically a superhero.
Tubman met John Brown in 1858, and helped him plan and recruit supporters for his 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry.share
When the Civil War began, Tubman worked for the Union Army, first as a cook and nurse, and then as an armed scout and spy. The first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war, she guided the raid at Combahee Ferry, which liberated more than 700 enslaved people.
A movie was made called Harriet. Whether it is a good movie, I don't know, but she deserves a star turn for sure.
Next thing we'll have a Frederick Douglas movie where he wears tights and rights wrongs. Just because this is how we deliver history to our young ones.
