Harriet Tubman: Visions of Freedom

(gentle music) -

Harriet

I have seen their tears, and I would give every drop of blood in my veins to free them. (gentle music) Harry Tubman was just really one of the great freedom fighters in this country. She felt that she was guided by a higher power to go back over and over again to personally free enslaved people. She was a conductor on the Underground Railroad. She was a Civil War scout, the nurse, a spy. She led a military raid, because she could fade into the background, because people didn't expect much of her on appearance. I always liken her to one-woman SEAL Team Six. She's someone who saw herself as having a purpose, the purpose of freedom. She didn't talk about what she did. She took direct actions She had incredible intelligence. It's really about using your strengths to benefit others. Harriet believed freedom should be universal. (gentle music)
