Harriet Tubman, a women born into slavery dedicated her life to helping other slaves escape and become free. Harriet would risk her life time and time again to get families and others to safe houses up north. This was her passion, once she escaped successfully the first time she did not have to go back to help others but she did so others would not have to endure the hardships of slavery anymore. I have always admired what she did because I am not sure if I could keep putting my life in danger for others time after time during this terrible time for black people. Im sure she was scared or nervous every time she went on her missions but she did not let that stop her. A movie recently about her life came out called “Harriet”, showing how brave she was helping these people. The movie did really good in theaters which is so important, to support a black cast and movie but to also show what she and many others endured during this horrible time.
