Such a per son was Hariet Tubman.. Harriet Tubman-was born in ? the dark and stormy night of Human slavery. She hated slavery and did what she could to free anyone held in bond* age.

It ~ la interesting: to note in passing that history speaks favorably nly of those who rendered great service to their fellowman. Those who do only for themselves are little noted nor are they long remembered. At the tender age of five, Har riet Tubinan was introduced t slave labor. She states, "I wa seven when I was sent to tak care of a baby. I was so small vad to sit on the floor and hav the baby put in my lap. And th baby was always in my lap ex cept when the mother was feed ing if or when it was asleep. She also remembered ip her late .years how she had to eat are :sleep with the hogs for severs <lays to avoid a beating.

C. | Saturday, February 14, 1953 JVEN TO~ j ' TUBMAN ing freedom. However, she was , twenty-nine before she attained | her freedom, o , j Once Harriet gained free- j * s dom she was a terror to the ,j j slave holders. She was contin- j ually raiding plantations help- .1 e ing others fo freedom. Between [' c 1851 and 1852 she made eleven _ trips from Canada to the South | to steal slavey. Every trip she made was successful. No fugi' tive was ev*r captured who had her for a leader. The amazing thing about this1 woman is that sYie operated in! spite of three great handicaps, j First, she was illiterate. Imagine j how difficult it would be for a 1 fugitive to make his way from ^ Canada to South Carolina when * he could neither read nor write. ' Enemies were all around. The ] fugitive slave law was in opera-f-'tion. A Negro had no rights1 whites were bound to resoectJ They could show the fugitive anvi piece of paper with writing on it j and pLace him in.an embarrass-1 ing position. One time Harriet's friends found her fast asleep un-1der a poster that announced a reward for her capture! Jh nnt.hor front hnnriionn was! e her inability to determine diree- j j tions. When she ieft Canada to j e pick uu the slaves she knew she, e was to go south, but there wercj ; J no guide posts. When she event-^ n I. ually found the slaves she knewi she was to go north, but north , ; r was not always easy to deter- * j mine. .
