a great cloud of witnesses: Harriet Tubman by ric gustafson
Harriet Tubman was a herald of freedom. She relied on God for her strength and inspiration. She was born a slave. From an early age, Tubman believed that God wanted her to be a liberator of her people.
Tubman believed that people are not slaves. With faith, Tubman escaped and fled to Philadelphia. From there, she made 13 trips and smuggled over 70 slaves to freedom. The slaves that she saved called her Moses. Tubman always talked to God and said he was her foundation.
In her later years, Tubman was active in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
