The Abolitionist We Know As Moses

Setting slaves free before January 1, 1863

Araminta Ross was her birth given name

Born into bondage but refused to live as a slave

Araminta Ross was her birth given name

Born into bondage but refused to live as a slave

1849 she set herself free

WANTED as an escapee of slavery

Harriet Tubman, unwilling to leave her mission incomplete

set out to free the enslaved

Embodied Abolitionist

sacrificing her own body as a lifeline

returned south numerous times

to escort her people to the promised land

using the significance of the underground

as the pathway to safety, relief, and liberty

though some speak of her as an action figure

Her humanitarian exceeded the bounds of slavery’s chains, and for this, she will always be The Moses of Her People.
