Harriet Tubman, born Araminta Ross, was an escaped enslaved woman who became the most famous 'conductor' on the Underground Railroad. Over an 11-year period, she returned to the South 13 times, risking her life to lead approximately 70 enslaved people to freedom in the North and Canada. Known as 'Moses' for her leadership, she never lost a passenger. During the American Civil War, she served as a scout, spy, and nurse for the Union Army, becoming the first woman to lead an armed assault during the Combahee River Raid, which liberated over 700 enslaved people. After the war, she was an active participant in the women's suffrage movement. Tubman’s life is a testament to extraordinary physical and moral courage, and she remains an enduring icon of freedom and resistance against oppression.
