Harriet Tubman's road to freedom

- Harriet Tubman, a tiny woman who could neither read nor write, pulled off superheroine-like exploits in the years before the Civil War. With the help of the Underground Railroad, she not only escaped from a Maryland plantation to freedom in the North, she went back, 13 times over 10 years, to guide more than 70 enslaved people to freedom. And during the war, she became the first American woman to lead troops into battle, near Beaufort, S.C. Martha Teichner visits historic sites that were part of Tubman's remarkable life story, and with actress Cynthia Erivo, who plays the iconic figure in a new biopic, "Harriet."

She was one of the first true American superheroes. ❤️
Lisa Witcher,she truly was!
Super SHE-roes🙌🏽
If she's a super hero... the "founding fathers" were super villains.
She truly was. I love her. She's definitely one of my heroes....
@@ssquigglyboomt.v.594 sad,but true. And they get mad when we don't celebrate them,the irony of it all. Faaacts
Harriet Tubman, "I could have freed more slaves if they only knew they were slaves."
@MSSUCCESSDRIVEN Sure does.
Huh
It still goes on till this day now u can't see it
@@correction123d9 ion get it
INJURYCOMP 😔
Dear GOD please never let us forget.
I'm willing to bet the school board will take Black History out our school because it offends other cultures. Anyone want to take me up on this and prove me wrong?
Arkethia Terrell They are already doing it and replacing it with the LGBTQ history.
@@arkethiaterrell1315 If that happens, Black parents need to start teaching our children about their history.
I believe it was Malcolm X who said we should never trust our oppressors to teach our children.
I am from the UK with parents from JA. We have saturday schools where we learn our history.
@@justmyopinion9883 Parents shouldn't depend on the schools to teach our history anyway. They teach what the government wants them to teach. We have to control our own narrative.
She was truly a remarkable woman, who deserves much more recognition.
Amen
Truth!
All we Brown Skin people really heard about was Ms. Rosa Parks. So many more of us in history.
Right
@@helenbestman5338 Yep I wish there was more union with us as a people now. My Jamaican supervisor is so envious of me.
Wow! Harriet Tubman lived until the age of 91. That's unheard of at the turn of the century.
Especially with all she endured! What a life!
Kevin P when you serve God as she did he will extend your life indeed!
@@Karensinger9 Harriet Tubman deserves a statue or monument in Washington DC as well as an image on the $20 bill.
Kevin P yes she most certainly does deserve a monument in her honor in Washington DC.
Kevin P really
They never taught us this in grade school.
How old you young man?
This is true and now that YOU KNOW, go and share this with your family and community.
@@j.flaner8506 ,I learned of Harriet Tubman in fourth grade in 1967,in Maryland she is a Legend!
To teach the multi ethnic African American it's true heroes, or their accomplishments. Is too much for this country to bear. It means all that are in darkness, can shine once in the light...
For many this is true. But other than her friendship that gave her a farm nothing much is news to me. I was blessed to have African American teachers of history class in grade school who were history majors themselves. Especially in 7th grade I learned a great deal about Ms Tubman and her work freeing slaves, leading troops to battle and being part of the first wave feminist movement.
I just saw Harriet in the theater and it's sad that she doesn't get more attention in history books. She's an American hero! And it was a great movie.
It’s a fictional story
@@madamluis2537 no it’s not
@@madamluis2537 You don't know enough about her to speak about the good she's done. So you say ignorant things like it was fictional smh
I read a book about her in the 7th-8th grade...It was amazing 😍😍😍
Was Harriet Tubmans relationship with Jesus Christ omitted? I haven't seen the movie.
She Knew Who She was and Whom She Belong to. A True Daughter of Zion.
Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Micah 2:1-2 KJV
+Dynel lol, you have no idea how accidentally correct you are.
@@wazgoodtwinspodcast9103 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
@@l337pwnage And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

That versa was about the Israelite, explained on how to Respect your Mom, Dad and Family of the Same FLASH. who was Slaves in Babylon which is America. Harriet Tubman.
@@wazgoodtwinspodcast9103 Doesn't change the intent.
She really does need to be mentioned in schools all day, every day. She's a true inspiration for all of us. Much love ❤
Absolutely
Lisa Fredell she’s always been apart of my education.
Facts !!
Not too much or kids would get tired of it. Just show the whole school her movie
If Mrs. Harriet Tubman is to b told in the schools, It has To Be Told In Its True Light", because the Movie Is A Lie! It does not depict the Truth of Our Hero Brave Expedition
This was a real "wonder woman". She should DEFINITELY replace Jackson.
Nah she's love Michael Jackson!
@@meganperreault5191 stfu!!
DEMAND IT, NO ASKING...
Kate I agree but that doofus in the wh is a mad man who is stopping it!
Yes
I saw this on CBS Sunday Morning today and was in awe of what this woman accomplished in her life.
Jacqueline L Graves what a beautiful story!
@@cookiecuteasapuppy1008 Yes, it truly was!
@Agent Orange Lol,yep
Jacqueline whatever they told you on CBS Sunday 95% of it was a lie, white folks have been lying on black folks for centuries and making money off the back of black people. I bet they won't tell you they rapped her mother and father in front of Harrett before they sold her and yes her beauty radiated all over the sea I bet they won't tell you she was going to be put on the $20.00 bill but Trump opposed it and it's not going to happen now. The lies the white man has said and continue to say about black people makes me angry. Let's not talk about slavery still happening in October 2019. Yes I'm angry and will continue to be angry until they fix the lies the white man has created.
@@arkethiaterrell1315 strongly agree! Soons she started saying things about her I clicked off right away!! They just lie and I hate it!!!
Harriet Tubman was a wonderful human being and I'm glad for the knowledge. Thank you because I didn't know any of this and this should have been something that I learned when I was in school.
The lies the white man tell you is over the top
do you know how many inventions we've made and the white man has taken credit for. You don't know the half of what this evil devil has did to us, but then on the other hand you turn a blind eye on most things.
Servant of God, Well Done!
Arkethia Terrell I like to hear about those inventions (seriously I do)! 😃
A queen, a superhero, a servant of God. What a woman. Thank you for this piece on her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jennifer Stubbington why are you concerned, what business is it of yours , you pink people need to go back to your caves and stay out of our country you stole !
Empress 1love I am concerned because I believe, as an American, it’s my duty to be an advocate of reparations and continue to heal what is the darkest period of our history-slavery. And that starts with education, which is why these pieces are so important. I am sorry you are so hurting that a comment like mine to celebrate such a powerful woman triggers you. Like your CZcams name says, I want “one love” too.
Tell tht to ur family and ALL OF UR WHITE FRIENDS. If ur a real one. Most of of those friends u have will not deal wth u. If not kick rocks.
@@empress1love727 stole from whom?
@@landslidelie if Harriet could se how the world changed she would be really happy to see that white and black people live together peacefully, and she would be ashamed of you and your thoughts.
I learned more about Anne frank than Harriet Tubman in school 😒
Damn, that is awful! I did not too!!!
Yeah same. Anne Frank was remarkable considering her situation but the US needs to teach its dark history in its classes not other countries.
Well said Hoda
it’s easy to show someone else’s
dirt & shame (germany) than to show your own (america).
so did I
So much bravery and tenacity inside such a small body. Thank you for this profile!
The original gangsta pitbull in a dress 😠😎🗿
Its Not The Size It's The Fight In U. AMEN💝💝💝
This woman's story made me cry.
So think of ALL the brothas and sisters that we didn't hear about,makes U wonder 🤔
Bobby Johnson Sadly maybe those are lost in history, we might never know 😥😔
Learning about her in school I believe was one of the few things I remember about history. Her story really affected me. I was so excited to hear she would be on one of our bills. I really hope it happens. She’s my hero. I hope one day I can visit her grave to pay my own respects.
Carol Tellier Absolutely! I hope it happens as well...🤗
@Carol Tellier- It will happen but not under the Trump presidency. Once he is out in 2020, President Andrew Yang will give the ok to start printing the new $20 bill.
@Agent Orange God is love,he might've hated Esau. But not all white people,a lot of them gave up their lives for people of color. Faaacts
Carol,Trump put a stop to it and it won't happen now. I'm surprised you didn't hear about this on fake news.
Nah u good. She might turn in her long rest .....please stay away.
Such a Queen, Harriet Tubman.
What an amazing woman !
Indeed 😇😊
This incredible bold black woman is one of my froremothers .
I would be proud to have her as my. Great..Great Grandmother!!! MY HERO OF ALL TIMES!! Big things come in small packages!!! Thank you Mrs Tubman..Long may you hail!!!! ...WELL DONE!!
Caleres southern evidently you're a smart man I commend you for your comment good job and I think you really feel that way so I say kudos to you
Kudos to you Larry I think you're a wonderful person we need more like you and it's crazy mixed-up world
We didn’t learn anything about her or others that made a difference for blacks we only learned about Martian Luther King the school system will never tell the real stories about slavery
they wont even touch the subject, which is a shame.
Idk I grew up in the deep south and my History teachers talked about slavery in great detail. I find early in History courses they have more freedom to express how they feel and I had an amazing history teacher who talked about Harriet Tubman a good bit. But I believe that most of these stories are not required by curriculum, which sucks balls.
@@imunique10 they've touched it now and are lying and twisting her/ our history.
Seth Prestenback yes, I’m very southern as well. I grew up in Louisiana and we talked about Harriet Tubman ALL THE TIME! We talk about black history all school year.She was definitely one of my favorite black historians. But of course, the reason my state focused on black history from other states was probably due to them trying to cover up or make like of the slavery, sharecropping and racist history in our state. Even in Louisiana History course, they will load you up on our states Creole history and Indian history, culture and food but wouldn’t dare talk about slavery. You’d have to go to the state building or on Ancestry for that.
Bored Wife Exactly
I literally had a smile through this whole video.
I as well.
Harriet Tubman was a remarkable human being. I was proud to bring my granddaughters to her home in Auburn. It’s my understanding that William Seward offered the land to her as a gift, but she insisted on purchasing it, instead. Besides the old folks home for former slaves, there was a brick making business there, as well. William Seward lived close by. It is well worth the effort to go to see both homes and learn some history along the way.
I drove past it. I need to see it💯🔥‼️
Such a wonderful profile! Thank you so much again for bringing her likeness to the country and the world.
I need not ask why this is in my recommendations: It is because she was such a great lady and I needed to see this info. I aspire to be like this small/huge hero of a woman. Glory to God: AMEN!
I for one will be elated when I see Harriet's picture on a $20 bill she deserves it she earned it through blood sweat and I'm sure a lot of tears I've heard conflicting information about her sickness or illness some information I received suggests that she falls into a sleep every so often and sleep like 3 hours and then awakes refreshed and ready to to go and now this article is saying that she had seizures I wonder which one is fact any comments on that?
@
I so appreciate the fact that I got "black history" taught to me in school starting in 6th grade.and not just this, but our past before slavery. We were so much more than just slaves.
Oh yes honey we were kings and queens and you know what we still are
Man. I'm a 48 year black man. No lie......i got mad tears for this courageous woman. Mainly because she was helping others and and sacrificing at a time when we were not considered a HUMAN! She lived a thousand lifetimes in her 91 years. Forget the Avengers or Xmen. She was our SUPERHERO!
A Queen. An authentic hero. A saint. 💜
Wow! I was never told of her achievements . Only that she helped slaves to freedom . There is so much more about her I never knew! Better late then never !
Maritza Dillingham Right
yeah I know it's fascinating the more you read about her andthe more facts you find out the more you just realized what a queen she was to grow through what she did and I mean to live to be that old that's a miracle
I love that! Servant of God, well done!
Servant of a god that supports slavery
Mrs. Tubman was truly a guardian angel, with the courage and heart that surpassed so many...Bless her for being a beacon in a time of pure darkness...thank you ma'am😊
Harriet Tubman is one of the real MVPs along with all of the hero’s of Black History Month.
It’s really sad that I was never taught about Harriet in school when I did history she’s truly a remarkable woman
BC it was a hoax, the actual event happened 2 months prior to a different woman who just got up and sat in the back. They recreated it and lie bc they are racists.
A remarkable lady! I have admired her all my life.
Being originally from Baltimore Maryland, I too have admired this Incredible, Courageous, Strong woman. Harriet Tubman, Earth is sending Love up!♥️ October 20th 2019
"servant of God well done"👏🏾👏🏾
Harriet was an earth angel...She earned her wings and now she is flying in heaven..as brave and compassionate together as one being can be. 🙏🏽
An American hero , a legend
This woman deserve to be on the hundred-dollar bill... . The story has touch me so much.. shes more than a hero... She is a legend 😭 HARRIET TUBMAN
March 10 1913. What a lady.
When I was young, my mom gave me a set of books of amazing woman. One of those were Harriet Tubman. She was a true hero. I'm glad to see someone making a movie about her. Can't wait to see it.
Servant of God, well done...Lord hearing this has caused the tears 😭😭😭😭 to flow heavy. That's all I want others to see me as, a servant of God's because nothing else matters. God bless her legacy!
I love your comment. That's all I want too, ymto be seen as a servant of God.
Me too...in all things give HIM GLORY!!!I want my life to be a living testimony that like Ms. Tubman I hear from my HOLY FATHER..Well done ,my good and faithful servant .🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You're right I agree 100% and that's what I strive for because in this crazy mixed-up world with coronavirus what black man being shot down like dogs and killed in the middle of the street we all need to concentrate it on being servants of God
Fascinating. To say she was BRAVE is an understatement!❤️
What a brave woman
It’s disgraceful that America is hiding the fact that H Tubman’s timeline to be on the $ bill has been “ delayed”. Why are some people so against it? This is 2019 and poc haven’t been written into our history books, as it should be.
@Michael Bramlett ,go away....this from a white man if it matters to you!
Michael Gaynor It’s 2019 and people like you still exist .... You have diarrhea of the mouth 😑.... its best to keep it shut ...
Why are black folks so pressed to be on some silly paper dollar bill. You want to show respect and keep Harriet Tubman’s legacy alive then keep it within yourself. Teach your children about the great leaders and fighters for their rights as human beings. I could care less about seeing a face on some paper money.
Nadia Lanier ...🤨... I’m going to need you to take several seats... learn to shut your trap... you have diarrhea of the mouth
Bro, the dollar is failing,it will soon not be the standard currency. So you see,why.
Put her on the $100 already. She's more honorable than any of the other dead faces we hold in such high regard. Y'all dont even want to see her on a $20. I swear the powers that should not be despise people that look like her.
Who actually uses a $100 note, more people will probably see her if she was on a $20
I remember reading about Harriet Tubman in Middle School.
I read a book about her in 5th grade. I still remember the thought and feeling how? How can anyone be so brave?! I'm so happy to learn that her funeral was well attended and she was recognized for her courage, during her lifetime!!
A brave and selfless soul, a hero and an inspiration!
A warrior , a survivor, a beautiful being and a natural beauty with a compassionate heart and a strong mind! What more could this world want?! Incredible life story .🙏
What an inspirational woman. Don’t ever forget wonderful heroes like her. ❤️🙏
so respectable the correct term “enslaved ppl” was used. 🙌
Thank you Father of all peoples that you send angels that walk among us., it breaks my heart what my forefathers did to all black human beings and continue to do today.. God bless all people trying to follow the teachings of Christ our Lord and Savior! One day I hope to meet Ms Tubman!
Emma Burgess 🙏🏽... thank you
Sad but true,we've been through a lot. But GOD said he would never leave us. We're still standing,God is great.
I second that, my thoughts exactly!
Damn words can't explain how much perseverance and resilient she had to free herself and other I salute you rest easy Queen 👏👏👏 God Bless
She was a blessing from God to our people at a time when she was most needed. R.I.P Harriet Tubman
Although I'm a 1st generation African American who's parents are from east Africa, I feel like I have a deep connection to Harriet Tubman.
@Marie Ferguson Well said!
Thank u, CREATOR for given us this POWERFUL amazing African - American woman.
I love her so much. They can keep their $20 bill. Her greatness is imprinted on our hearts and souls. We honor the ancestors!!!
Well said dude! Very well said! Preach! 😃😊👍🏻
You better believe it
What an incredible woman! Can’t wait to see the movie and learn more!
What a courageous woman! She is synonymous with freedom.
Wow 💖
This CBS Sunday Morning News segment was so moving, so powerful, so imbuing that it brought me to tears! I have watched it over and over, and I feel the same types of emotions each and every time! "The Great Harriet Tubman" was so awesome! I know a lot about her. Yet, I am learning more and more each day! I truly love you "Harriet Tubman!" I thank God for you! I pray that your selflessness, greatness inspires a whole new generation of "Harriet Tubman's" both male and female, young and old, "African Family" and other ethnicities! Thank you God for the movie "Harriet," Cynthia Erivo, Kasi Lemmons, Martin Chase and all of the actors and actresses and crew that put their souls into bringing "The Great Harriet Tubman's Story" to the world! I can't wait to see it...again and again and again...and purchase tickets for our youth to learn about her greatness!! And, even more importantly to know that the God presence "The Great Harriet Tubman" knew, loved and called upon," is inside of them!...inside of all of us!!!
I am so glad they have a picture of her.
I would've rolled right by her side. She is one of my heroes!!!
Such amazing women.....we wouldn’t be where we are today without her......I’m glad to see she lived such a full life🙌🏾
Harriet Tubman was Incredible, Courageous, and a Strong Woman! Harriet Tubman, Earth is sending Love up!♥️October 20th 2019
I love me some harriet tubman history.
General Tubman we all owe you EVERYTHING!!! Thank You!!!
Praise God she was a Believer! She is living it up with Jesus and will never be harmed again. Alot of slaves had a strong Faith. Their lives were miserable down here but they have no troubles in Heaven, so happy that Harriet and other believers like Harriet are living in eternal happiness with The Lord Jesus Christ. Can't say the same of their oppressors who never repented. They will forever suffer in Hades, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 5:3-12, Matthew 25:46. Can't wait to meet Harriet in Heaven and others who had such miserable lives down here. What a true servant of the Lord!
A true hero and leader. Fearless, to make wrong right. Truly commendable. Her history can teach lessons unimaginable.
I love that even after being treated badly by white people she didn’t go around hating everyone. Instead she decided to change the world and make a difference and she did. So much respect... definitely watching the movie
She was one of the bravest yet most resilient super heroes to grace planet earth❤️🙏🏾
How long do lie about Harriet Tubman in school and out of school doing my own research I'm coming across the book about Harriet Tubman she did a lot
Ms T, has my heart beyond this earth Horizon
I have epilepsy as well. I didn't know that Harriet suffered from seizures. She is my hero. She did so many amazing things. I admire her.
Such a fascinating, courageous and inspiring woman. I truly admire her strength, dedication
and determination.
I would have loved to have met her.
She is a wonderful exemplary woman.
A remarkable life that deserves to be
remembered. ♥️🔥♥️
Thank you Ms. Tubman. 😇
Jenelle Monae stay being casted in iconic movies. I am proud of her too.
What a hero
Soooooo touching....kids today have not a clue...not a clue....well done thy good and faithful servant....words every Christian should want to hear....
''She was the Serena Williams of her time''....what an amazing statement and Serena must be proud.
turntableone stop with the bs she wouldn’t have never laid with a 🐖
That Serena Williams comment was a dumb reference and embarrassing to Mrs. Tubman. Serena can only wish...
@@justiceforjuicy9795 Yeah that bothers me. Are we really comparing a sports player to a woman who risked her life to save slaves? ☠
It's a comparison that doesn't make sense.
This video was to short 😭
This is what you call a Superhero!!!!!
750 folks THANK YOU. MINTY
Does any one know what I could've meant by 750 folks.
6:24 SERINA WILLIAMS??? I'm sorry but to me that's a terrible comparison. A tennis player vs Harriet Tubman. I dont think so.
Kino yeah I wasn’t feeling it either. Maybe it’s something about Serena that we don’t know that she does lol
No offense but a sports figure is not the right comparison and should not be mentioned in the same breath. Harriet is a trailblazer whose heroic actions saved hundreds of slaves unmatched by anyone else. In today's superficial world and dog eat dog and hating mentality it does me to pick up a book and get schooled.
I found that offensive also. This woman literally changed so many lives. Harriet is my hero☺️
Oh absolutely you're right compare and Harriet to Serena is like a pair of oranges and apples she can never touch that
I like SERENA but not in same category of MRS Tubman!🙆🏾♂️
About time she gets her film
You know there have been films about her already right? Two of them at least that I know of...
@@cynthiamckinney4276 what r the titles please? I would like 2 see them as well. Have u seen them?
I can only think of one of the names, but I've seen two movies with women starring as Harriet Tubman. The one I can name is, A Women Called Moses, starring Mrs Cicely Tyson...
Sista cyn I'm aware of her history lol 2019 I can take my kid now vs well ya know lol gods love
@@kelleybright3113 the way you worded your comment made me think other wise, but ok cool!👌👍
Harriet Tubman is the Harriet Tubman of her time....UNmatched...One of One
A really wonderful and admirable woman who will allways be remembered.
What an amazing story! 📚 Her face should B on the 20 dollar bill NOW💵
Oh my God. Just what I needed. My Hero!
I first learned about Harriet Tubman when I was nine. She’s someone who if I could meet someone from the past, it would be her. In the meantime, I hope to visit where she grew up.
I couldn't help but cry for some reason. Her life, her story is so incredible. Now, this is a role model women should look up to!
she wasn't "deeply religious". she had a deep relationship with God. what a remarkable woman. God bless her soul.
The new movie was a injustice to her memory she would be ashamed
Pettiford Darryl glad I didn’t see it
Harriet Tubman is such a spectacular person, I have always loved her, and her pride to save her people.
All I can say is wooooow, Harriet Tubman, what an amazing woman...what a hero...
Great woman.. as alwaysgood job on this story CBS Sunday Morning 😊🙏🏿
I'll have to go visit one day , from Detroit, MI
Thank you for sharing my story!
I’m so happy my grandmother named me after her. I proudly carry this name Harriet
