And now a special announcement from CMCC for Black History Month. Harriet Tubman was an African American abolitionist and political activist who was born into slavery in the early 19th century. She escaped slavery in 1849 and subsequently made numerous perilous journeys back to the South to help others escape to freedom via the Underground Railroad, a network of safe houses and routes. Tubman’s bravery and determination led to her becoming one of the most famous conductors of the Underground Railroad, freeing hundreds of enslaved individuals. After the Civil War, she continued her activism for abolition, women’s suffrage, and the rights of African Americans. Harriet Tubman is celebrated as an American hero and an icon of the struggle for freedom and equality.
