She Escaped Enslavement And Became A Symbol For Freedom | Harriet Tubman

[@HistorysForgottenPeople]

So how much do you guys think Harriet Tubman contributed to the end of slavery? And apologies for my voice this week, guys, I have a sore throat! Hopefully better for next week. 🤞 More videos: Did The FIRST English Queen LOSE Her Crown?

She is one of my heros because she fought for freedom and justice.When you risk youre life to save strangers lives from cruelty you are beyond all human compassion!

[@HistorysForgottenPeople]

Same here! Escaping was brave enough, and going back for her family was also. But risking her life further by going back for others - and later leading troops into battle in the South - that takes someone special. But I think what was so great about her is she was so modest about it. I think Harriet really wanted others to understand that they could do the same, if they tried, even though what she did was extraordinary.

[@marjorjorietillman856]

She was treated worse than the farm animal she feed. The same was true for the other slaves as well! Little children weren’t treated like children! I still don’t understand those who worship the southern leaders like Robert E Lee, who took part in this type treatment of humans, which included killing women and little children! I don’t understand! I’m just being honest!❤

Comparing her to Moses doesn’t make sense , according to new evidence the slaves that erected the pyramids in Egypt were never forced laborers or treated badly or lived in harsh conditions. They were well feed and family oriented. Moses helped thousands of people cross harsh conditions to escape Egypt hands . Found refuge in Canaan. Harriet Tubman just pointed the way for a few lost souls. Slaves were indigenous people from Africa that were prisoners of their own country and people that were thought the white mans religion and forbidden to be educated. Other thing that doesn’t make sense is to put her on a twenty dollar bill you remove confederate statues and protest over a black women being on a bottle of syrup. But you’ll put Harriet on the twenty. It’s always been presidents . What’s the purpose of continue to be reminded of black women of slavery ? Just like the n word you call each other to be reminded difficult times from the hands of white supremacy.

I had to stop hear after seeing Ms. Harriet’s eyes. There in them I see pain and determination to fight back what all happened to her and those that she tried to free. 5:34 the girl in the picture before this one the eyes of that young girl, I see sorrow, a cry for help, and pain .

[@HistorysForgottenPeople]

I agree, and the photos of many people who were enslaved always show such a painful story in their eyes, but there's also usually this fire in them that is that bit of fight that underneath it all. It's probably just me being a bit emotional about it, but I can never look away. I almost didn't use the photo with the little girl, as it is impossible to ever know her story, or even just her name, and give her some sort of credit in the image for it. But then I realised that might be the only image of her that exists, and even if I don't know her name, she deserves to at least be shown in the light of day, next to the woman who enslaved her, who might otherwise not be known for such a heinous act.

This video should be told in schools. She was a military hero. The first woman that lead troops into battle. The white women abolitionist , I think used her, didn’t help black women get the same rights as white women. Still, Ms. Harriet fought for what she thought was the right thing to do.

[@HistorysForgottenPeople]

I think white women abolitionists were possibly hampered at times by other issues of gender that held them back in other ways, and sometimes they prioritised those. (Personally not comparing, none of those issues should have been there in the first place, of course!) Harriet Tubman was certainly a fighter. Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

[@ruijannie8696]

She was a great woman and had demonstrated leadership bravely fighting the slavery. What a courageous figure!

I had never heard of this incredible woman. I knew there were iconic figures in slavery trade times who lead the way for their fellow enslaved brothers & sisters, but the name of Harriet Tubman is not talked about enough. Thank you so much for sharing her heartfelt life story. As a black woman I am feeling way more empowered by Harriett Tubman than Beyonce for instance who doesn't do much for the Black community.

[@HistorysForgottenPeople]

It's really surprising how Harriet Tubman isn't a better known person, and I think over time hopefully she will be taught about more, and will become better known. I think there were an awful lot of people who found freedom because of her, who would have been otherwise left as it was judged too dangerous by others. Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you liked the video! 😊

[@ItsLeslieJay]

I'm sure Harriet wouldn't approve of you putting down another black woman like that. Also, do your research -- Beyonce has contributed significantly to the Black community (including creating an entire low income housing community in her hometown, Houston).

[@dsham5971]

The school system has definitely let students down. There are so many icons in the past Frederick Douglass, Harriet, Tubman, Malcolm X, etc…. It’s absolutely disgraceful that there’s no education in black history. I saw on tv a young black boy thought the under ground rail road was an actual railroad! It’s sad.

[@HistorysForgottenPeople]

I honestly think this needs to be part of the curriculum in a LOT of countries. In secondary schools here in the UK (like high school), students studying history now have the option to study the expansion of the West in the US as a GCSE option. Now, it's a good step in the right direction in showing that we're all connected in the past, but Britain's part in slavery (and hence the creation of the slave-economy that was created in the South of the US) is never talked about until University level, even for the people who escaped enslavement and came here to Britain, like Olaudah Equiano. It's amazing Harriet Tubman isn't more of a well-known person, especially in the US. She wasn't just a symbol of freedom for her black community, but for what women were capable of, too.

I haven't attempted an 'African-American' accent, so I'm not sure what you mean?

That are so many people in history that I research that are often from other places, and it can sometimes be hard to find actual history about them from people who are closer to them (whether that be ethnicity, nationality, gender or something else), and while all historians (not always consciously) have a bias, it can be so much more difficult when there is an obvious bias that omits details or tells the story in a different way.
