Unisex Heavy Blend™ Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt (Harriet Tubman)

Harriet Tubman (born around 1820 in Dorchester County, Maryland, U.S., and died on March 10, 1913, in Auburn, New York) was an American bondwoman who escaped from slavery in the South. She became a leading abolitionist before the American Civil War. Tubman’s remarkable achievements include leading dozens of enslaved people to freedom in the North along the route of the Underground Railroad—an elaborate secret network of safe houses organized for that purpose. Her courage and determination continue to inspire generations. 🌟

Harriet Tubman first reached Philadelphia, she was, under the law of the time, a free woman. However, the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850 made her a freedom seeker again. All citizens were obligated to aid in her recapture, so she had to operate quietly. Tubman’s remarkable journey as an escaped enslaved woman led her to become a courageous “conductor” on the Underground Railroad, helping countless others seek freedom despite the risks and legal challenges.
