From persistent pay gaps and housing insecurity to shamefully high mortality rates, Black women shoulder many of the same challenges Harriet Tubman endured in her lifetime. From KeishaBlain:
Tubman ultimately took matters into her own hands. In 1849, after Brodess’s death, rumors began to spread that his widow intended to resolve mounting debt through the sale of enslaved people on the plantation. Tubman knew that she needed to make her move.
: “There are two things I’ve got a right to, and these are, Death or Liberty—one or the other I mean to have.” . “I shall fight for my liberty, and when the time has come for me to go, the Lord will let them kill me.” There are two things I’ve got a right to, and these are, Death or Liberty—one or the other I mean to have. No one will take me back alive. I shall fight for my liberty, and when the time has come for me to go, the Lord will let them kill me.By the start of the Civil War in 1861, Tubman had already established a name for herself as a fierce abolitionist devoted to the cause of Black liberation.
