What is the name Harriet Tubman received at birth?
Correct answer: Araminta
Jethrine321
The courage and strength of a remarkable human being. Something sorely lacking in most people today.

Tbird, I think the comment was a compliment to her; not a derogatory statement. At least, I hope so. She was remarkable! The summary failed to mention that she suffered neurological damage causing severe headaches and black outs throughout her life. Knowing this makes her notable accomplishments greater.

Unbelievable how much adversity this young black woman accomplished. Wow

She was courageous beyond measure. She had seizures and a bounty on her head, but it didn't stop her from making the journey numerous times.

I never knew that she was a Union spy in the Civil War. I knew that she helped a lot of slaves gain freedom. I never understood the whole point to have slavery throughout history. People were very cruel to their slaves, and it helps me see how lazy most of the owners were to neglect doing their own work throughout history. Efficiency is all good but for what price? Nothing is ever gained by not working hard for it! There is beauty in diversity🙂

I learned about her story from my daughter when she was in 5th grade. My daughter loved learning about Harriet Turman! She inspired my daughter to have courage to deal with the many things she struggled with. She chose to portray Harriet Turman in a class wax museum project in school.

I say she deserves to be memorialized on the $20 bill.

Amazing woman! We can learn from her gentle yet profound life that you can help others no matter the laws of the land and that violence + hate are never the way.
