Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. In this inspiring episode, I share the remarkable journey of Harriet Tubman, a true hero of the Underground Railroad. We delve into the life of a courageous woman who defied the odds, risking her life to lead countless enslaved individuals to freedom. From her harrowing escape to her daring missions back to the South, Harriet's story is one of resilience, bravery, and unwavering commitment to justice. As we honor her legacy, we also explore the crucial role of African Americans in the fight against slavery and the intricate network of support that made the Underground Railroad possible. Join me as I celebrate the spirit of freedom and the indomitable strength of those who fought for it.
