Harriet Tubman: A Woman Named Moses

Harriet Tubman was born into slavery, escaped to the North, and became a conductor on the Underground Railroad, leading hundreds of slaves to freedom. People called her “Moses.” She was a leading abolitionist and she worked as a spy for the Union Army during the Civil War. In 2016,
the U.S. Treasury Department chose Harriet Tubman to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Beth Kelly, PhD, of DePaul University will explore Tubman’s life and remarkable achievements.
