Harriet Tubman (1822 – March 10, 1913) was an African American abolitionist and political activist who became one of the most prominent figures in the fight against slavery in the United States. Born into slavery in Maryland, Tubman escaped to freedom in 1849 but risked her own safety by returning to the South multiple times to free hundreds of enslaved individuals through the Underground Railroad.

Tubman's daring efforts gained her the nickname "Moses," as she became known for leading slaves to liberation, similar to the biblical figure. Along the treacherous journey, Tubman would use various disguises and inventive strategies to avoid detection, leading her followers through secret paths and safe houses towards freedom. Her remarkable success and unwavering determination to rescue others from bondage solidified her position as a leading abolitionist.

Tubman's commitment to the abolitionist cause and her courageous actions during the Civil War further solidified her legacy. During the war, she served as a nurse, cook, and spy for the Union Army. After the war, Tubman continued to advocate for women's suffrage and fought against racial inequality.

In recognition of her incredible resilience and contributions, Harriet Tubman's face has been chosen to appear on the United States twenty-dollar bill, making her the first African American woman to be featured on a U.S. banknote. Her remarkable story continues to inspire generations of people fighting for justice and equality.
