Tubman is known for not only refusing to accept enslavement for herself or others, but for her full life as a leader in the Union army, a suffragist, a mother, and a wife.

* This piece was commissioned by The Star & Lantern in Pennsylvania as part of a project commemorating The Underground Railroad.

** I wanted to celebrate our Warrior Queen by showing her in all her fierce defiant and bold glory. I wanted her power and integrity to come through in this work. In her dress I collaged pages from the book of Exodus which describe Moses guiding the enslaved children of Israel out of bondage and leading them to the Promised Land. Harriet is often referring to as our “Moses”. I also added copies of documents that show the postings of rewards given for runaway slaves as well as other articles from that era pertaining to enslaved Africans. In many circles it is believed that Harriet was a powerful Mambo (high priestess) of the Hoodoo tradition so I included recipes & formulas for spells & hexes in the collage and lastly the image taken from the manifest of a slave ship that laid out the stacking of African bodies for the Middle Passage journey. * Harriet is holding the “Seed of Life” which symbolizes all creation and from her hands the drips that symbolize the blood lines that she saved as well as the blood that was shed in the pursuits of Freedom. * in the background is the symbol for the “North Star” and at the bottom of her garment the “Bow tie” both were designs used in quilts made by enslaved & newly freed Africans. *Harriet is standing on a collage that depicts her legacy of righteous resistance; here we see images of the Black Panther Party, Civil Rights and BLM Protesters as well as the faces of joyful liberated children....

Harriet Tubman / March 1822 - March 10, 1913/ was an American abolitionist and political activist. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. #cardula #harriettubman #politicalactivist #abolitionist https://www.instagram.com/p/CpmmvThjTEP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On #ChristmasEve 1854, Harriet Tubman returned to her Eastern Shore Maryland home to emancipate her brothers Ben, Henry, and Robert from slavery. Tubman had heard rumors that there were plans to sell the men the day after Christmas, so she sent word to her brothers through Jacob Jackson, a free African American man.

During the slavery era, Christmas became a popular time for freedom seekers to plan escapes because enslaved people often received travel passes to visit family who lived on other properties during the holiday. Once they received travel passes, they were not expected to show up again until well after the holiday. Tubman wrote in code: “tell my brothers to be always watching unto prayer and when the good old ship of Zion comes along, to be ready to step on board.”

The brothers had travel passes to visit their parents Ben Sr. and Rit Ross for Christmas. 3 others, including Ben’s fiancée, would join the group on their journey North to freedom. They traveled more than 100 miles, arriving at William Still’s Anti-Slavery office in Philadelphia on Dec. 29, 1854. #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory
