If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there’s shooting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.

Known as the “Moses of her people,” Harriet Tubman was enslaved, escaped, and helped others gain their freedom as a “conductor” of the Underground Railroad. Tubman also served as a scout, spy, guerrilla soldier, and nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War. She is considered the first African American woman to serve in the military.
