Today we celebrate the life of Harriet Tubman — one of the most famous conductors of the Underground Railroad — who personally lead hundreds of enslaved Black Americans to freedom. 

Tubman is known for not only refusing to accept enslavement for herself or others, but for her full life as a leader in the Union army, a suffragist, a mother, and a wife.

I'm currently re-reading An Echo in the Bone along with the Boozy Book Club here on IG. The Dismal Swamp and Dismal Town is referenced in the book when Wlilliam is traveling through on assignment. I live not far from the Dismal Swamp, and have distinct memories of riding in the car at night down Rt. 17 as a little girl towards New Bern, NC to see my Aunt and Uncle. This was before it was re-routed , and it was a creepy and dark two lane road surrounded by trees parallel to the Swamp. I hated that stretch of road, so the description of it in the book is just how I remember it. The old road is now a paved trail for biking and walking. It doesn't look as menacing in the daylight, but the thought of it still gives me the creeps. I put a link in my stories for those interested in the history of the Dismal Swamp. #Outlander #anechointhebone #dismaltown #dismalswamp #thegreatdismalswamp #georgewashington #undergroundrailroad #williamransom #dianagabledon https://www.instagram.com/p/ChqoaL1MHP7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On This Day in New York City History February 20, 1895: Former slave, abolitionist and civil rights advocate Frederick Douglass (February 1818 - February 20, 1895) passes away at the age of 77 or 78.

Douglass escaped slavery via the Underground Railroad arriving in NYC in 1838. Douglass would figure heavily in the history of NYC's abolition movement leading up to and during the Civil War. Douglass gave a series of speeches at Cooper Union including The Proclamation and the Negro Army which was given on February 3, 1863.

Post Civil War, Douglass continued to work for the freedom of not only blacks but of women in the areas of voting rights and would lend his support to Ida B. Wells' anti-lynching campaign.

Douglass would pass away at either the age of 77 or 78 in Washington D.C.

As founding family members of the William & Ellen Craft Foundation (WECF), we’re honored that WECF's 1st post here is to announce that tomorrow, Thursday, December 21, we’ll commemorate the 175th anniversary of the historic escape from enslavement by our ancestors, William & Ellen Craft (Left image on announcement), with a daily countdown and tracking of their harrowing five day December 1848 journey from #Macon, GA to freedom in #Philadelphia on Christmas Day. A journey where Ellen, who, as the daughter of an enslaved black woman and their white slaveholder, was able to “present” as white, and famously disguised herself as William’s white male slaveholder (Right image on announcement). She bandaged her jawline to minimize speaking, as well as her right hand to avoid any writing—which she, nor William, had been taught. Please #SpreadTheWord to join us for the next five days of unfolding their dangerous—and ingenious—trek out of bondage (which will include images from The U.S. National Park Service related to their journey, also go to: https://bit.ly/3tmBcdi).  Stay tuned… (posted PST) #WilliamAndEllenCraft, #RunningAThousandMilesForFreedom, #BlackHistory, #AmericanHistory, #History, #WilliamCraft, #EllenCraft, #Enslavement, #UndergroundRailroad, #TheGreatestEscape

106.) In 2016, I asked for some suggestions as to what I could depict on a sweater in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. One of the top ideas was the “I have a dream” speech. My ‘dream’ of such a sweater came true a year later and I’ve worn it on MLK Day every year since. I also wore it on April 4, 2018, the 50 year anniversary of his death, and at various other relevant times. Because the speech and Dr. King’s death happened before I was born, I used an app to superimpose myself in front of a picture of the event. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingjr #mlk #martinlutherkingjrday #martinlutherkingday #mlkday #ihaveadream #ihaveadreamspeech #dream #washingtonmonument #lincolnmemorial #harriettubman #undergroundrailroad #rosaparks https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWQC4lvpS_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Harriet Tubman: A Legacy of Freedom, Bravery, and Equality.Harriet Tubman: A Legacy of Freedom, Bravery, and Equality.Harriet Tubman, an outstanding figure in the American abolitionist movement, was born into slavery but escaped to freedom in 1849. Her life was marked by her daring missions to rescue enslaved people via the Underground Railroad, where she made numerous trips to the South, guiding over 300 individuals to freedom and earning the nickname "Moses." Beyond her work on the Railroad, Tubman served as a scout, spy, and nurse during the Civil War, later becoming an advocate for women's suffrage and establishing a home for elderly African Americans. Her legacy as a symbol of courage, determination, and the fight for justice is celebrated across the U.S. through monuments, museums, and discussions to honor her on the $20 bill. In 2023, she was inducted into the U.S. Army Military Intelligence Corps Hall of Fame, further cementing her status as a national hero and an enduring inspiration in the struggle for human rights and equality. Tubman's life exemplifies the impact one person can have in challenging injustice and advocating for change. #harriettubman  , #UndergroundRailroad, #Abolitionist, #FreedomFighter, #MosesOfHerPeople, #CivilWarHero, #WomensSuffrage, #SocialJustice, #AmericanHero, #HumanRightsIcon, #LegacyOfCourage, #EqualityForAll, #Resilience, #Selflessness, #NationalHero, #HistoryInspiration, #FightForFreedom , #blackhistorymonth
