It's #HarrietTubman Day! She worked in #CapeMay, #NJ to earn funds to support her missions to free enslaved people. Congress declared March 10, the day of her death in 1913, #HarrietTubmanDay to recognize her "courageous and dedicated pursuit of the promise of American ideals."

Happy Harriet Tubman Day! Known as the “Moses of her people,” Tubman was enslaved, escaped, & helped others gain their freedom as a “conductor" of the Underground Railroad. She also served as a scout, spy, guerrilla soldier, and nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War.
