Harriet Tubman (c. 1822 – March 10, 1913) was an abolitionist, freedom fighter, and one of the most famous conductors of the Underground Railroad. Born into slavery in Maryland, she escaped in 1849 and dedicated her life to leading others to freedom, making at least 13 daring missions to rescue enslaved individuals. During the Civil War, she served as a Union spy, nurse, and scout, even leading a military raid that freed over 700 enslaved people. After the war, she continued to fight for justice, advocating for women’s suffrage and helping formerly enslaved people rebuild their lives. Tubman passed away on March 10, 1913, in Auburn, New York, at approximately 91 years old. In recognition of her lifelong dedication to freedom and equality, March 10 is now observed as Harriet Tubman Day in the United States.
