History is J

a and wo-,
men of days gone by. Those j
whose records hove stood the
test of time have earned their |
place in history. Those who have,
made contributions toward making
the world a better one arej
* worthy of imitation. Such a person
was Hariet Tubman.
Harriet Tubman was born in
the dark and stormy night of 11
human slavery. She hated {t

place in history by working in i ]
the underground railroad. It f
is interesting to note in passing t
that history speaks favorably
nly of those who rendered 1
great service to their fellow- ;
tan. Those who do only for :i
themselves are little noted nor i i
are they long remembered. j f
At the tender age of five, Haj-;c
I v
net Tubman was introduced tO|
slave labor. She states, "I wasj
seven when I was sent to take^
care of a baby. I was so small Ij*
had to sit on the floor and have j ?
the baby put in my lap. And the
baby was always in my lap ex-.*1
cept when the mother was feed-j11
ing it or when it was asleep." s
She also remembered in her later v
years how she had to eat and n
:sleep with the hogs for several
days to avoid a beating. Since
