Harriet Tubman

[blackstarlineage]

Harriet Tubman (c. 1822–1913) was an abolitionist, freedom fighter, and humanitarian best known for her role as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, where she led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom. She was also a spy, scout, nurse, and soldier for the Union Army during the Civil War, making her one of the most fearless and effective leaders in the fight against slavery.

Born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland, Tubman endured brutal treatment at the hands of enslavers. Despite suffering a severe head injury as a child—causing lifelong headaches and visions—she developed a deep spiritual connection that guided her throughout her life. In 1849, she escaped slavery, traveling alone over 100 miles to the North, where she found freedom. However, she refused to stay free while others remained in bondage.

Determined to liberate her people, Tubman returned to the South at least 13 times, leading approximately 70 enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad, a secret network of safe houses and abolitionists. Her success earned her the nickname “Moses”, as she never lost a single passenger on her dangerous journeys. She used disguises, secret codes, and her knowledge of the land to outmaneuver slave catchers, who placed large bounties on her capture.

During the Civil War, Tubman worked as a spy and scout for the Union Army, using her knowledge of the South to gather intelligence and organize guerrilla missions. In 1863, she led a daring raid on the Combahee River, which resulted in the liberation of over 750 enslaved people—one of the largest emancipation missions of the war. Her contributions to the Union war effort made her one of the few women to lead a military operation during that time.

After the war, Tubman dedicated her life to advocating for the rights of Black people and women. She worked to support formerly enslaved people, campaigned for women's suffrage, and established a home for elderly African Americans in Auburn, New York. Despite her immense contributions, she struggled financially and was not properly compensated for her wartime service.

Harriet Tubman’s legacy is one of fearless resistance, self-sacrifice, and an unshakable commitment to Black liberation. Her work not only freed individuals from physical slavery but also laid the foundation for future generations in the fight for civil rights, self-determination, and justice. She remains one of the most revered figures in African American and global history, embodying the spirit of liberation and resilience.

Artist Jonathan Harris and his painting titled “Critical Race Theory"

It’s a hauntingly effective image. A blonde figure stands, back to the viewer and paint roller in hand, covering up the images of Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Malcolm X with strokes of white paint. Critical Race Theory (2021) has been embraced as a powerful reminder of the importance of teaching and preserving Black history.

The canvas is the work of Detroit artist Jonathan Harris, who, since taking up painting full time nearly four years ago, has dedicated himself to making work expressing his lived experience as a Black man in the U.S. Critical race theory, which examines the ways in which racism is embedded in our nation’s legal systems and policies, has been circulating in academic circles since the 1970s. But it began making headlines, especially in conservative media, in 2022 as some local lawmakers sought to proactively ban its teaching.

PART TWOOOO....

Elphaba, she's used to being treated as an outsider, to being ostracised, she's been treated that way her whole life, but she's still human and no matter how tough she tries to be, it still hurts to be outlasted simply because of how you appear and let me just say, casting a woman of color, well a black woman for this role just made it feel more real, I mean this is a feeling I imagine POC can relate to really well....

How she is being judged and ostracised by community, but is somehow being blamed for it, (like it's her own fault she's different) when she's the one being hurt....

Another feeling I know black women, well women of color relate too is feeling, should I say inadequate(?) in comparison to white women, I mean the beauty standard is never in our favor...

Also how Elphaba has to constantly be aware of the fact that she is different, she can never really blend in anywhere, she always stands out, always has to act differently from everyone else because her being different follows her everywhere, standards for what is acceptable is always different for her...

There's also something that doesn't sit right with me about how her talents are exploited by someone she grows to trust, and then she's blamed for something she was manipulated into, painted as a criminal weaponising her skin against her.....
