Harriet Tubman, a woman synonymous with history because of her brave actions with the Underground Railroad. Only that's not where her story began. She was born and raised in slavery, but she was determined that she wouldn't stay there. Upon marrying a free man, she fought for her freedom but was denied. It was only at that moment that she knew she must do whatever it took to be free or die. Choosing to escape to the north, she left behind everything she had ever known, including her own husband. Making the nearly 100-mile trek alone was nearly impossible, especially by a woman. When she succeeded, no one could have expected what she was determined to do next. She made the trek back to rescue her family, along the way she would help others as well, and lead them to freedom. Amongst the south, she became to be known simply as "Moses". Through this persona, she was able to achieve the impossible. She led countless others to freedom at great personal risk. All because she was determined to free her own kin. Raising the question, would she have done what she did had it not been for her family? Or was she so passionate about freedom that she would have done anything and everything to free those who were nothing more than fellow downtrodden individuals trapped by archaic laws of the day? So many questions, so few answers. Either way, she was a powerful woman who changed the lives of many. A heroine by any standard, past, present, or future that has been brought to life once again on the big screen.
