@@mrs.goldenberries5503 my grandmother always talks about Harriet Tubman...you could look her up. There’s plenty of interviews she’s done. She could tell you anything.
This powerful woman was only 4'11? That really struck me. She was such a giant of thought and strength and tenacity... in tiny little package. Just wow.
@@marilynharris4831 Well they don't teach it in school because if you really got into black history it tells the truth about the democrat party and they don't want you to know that.
@@ledomc2007 let’s not even get into politics when it comes to black people. Neither political party cared about black people. Let’s be clear on that. The facts tell us this. The biggest difference is that the Democratic Party pretended to “help” and “care” in the later years. The Republicans never cared nor pretended to care about black people. It was the party of capitalism and economics. Not morality (very different than today in that respect). At least with the Republicans they weren’t too-faced. You knew exactly who your enemies were.
@@lisacox3750 The republican party was founded as an anti slavery party. Not a single republican owned a slave. If you look for real answers you will get them. It's not about "politics" in the modern sense. It's history. Every single first politician that was a minority was apart of the republican party. It's black history. I wanted answers so I got them. Liberals never gave nor had any answers. I had to find out from black conservatives as well as one Indian guy lmao. Plus some history books
@sapphirecatherine is back Purplecherries but yet, here *YOU* are *WATCHING A VIDEO ALL ABOUT HARRIET TUBMAN....* I think your comment just backfired, making *YOU* look THAT MUCH DUMBER 🤣😂😂🤣. I'm guessing you forgot to actually THINK before posting, correct? Lolllll. Lemme guess, your parents are first cousins..... Imagine waking up with the "intent" to TROLL on RU-vid JUST for someone else to use that same comment to troll you right back..... WITH FACTS. 😜😜 Don't even bother replying. I've taken the liberty of MUTING any notifications from you. Your response would probably be nothing more than the same garbage in your intial comment. Happy Fridayyyyyyyyyy😂😘
@@KAMALAISHERNAME 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 damn, now that was a READ. You dragged that bih (sapphirecatherine is back ROTTEN CHERRIES) without even touching her. I'm here 4 it😂. THEIR ANCESTORS TORTURED OURS, and THEY have the audacity to be upset, trolling videos like this one & trying to discount the achievements made by people like Harriet Tubman who SHOULDN'T have ever been put in a position like that one in the FIRST PLACE to free anyone who should've been FREE FROM THE START. Last I checked, OUR ANCESTORS didn't invade Europe, placing THEIR PEOPLE in bondage and taking them against their will to a foreign land to work, be beaten and killed FOR FREE for the next 400 years. So what are THEY mad about again? I didn't get the memo on that🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@diorlilah6352 oh ' blocked and muted,' they sure told you didn't they 🤣🤣 They can't handle knowing they're loosing their "superiority" (which isn't so superior) or that they've been lied to their whole lives and are literally lost without their hatred for others.
@Luxe Monreaux Lol you're such a moron. You can't comprehend that even men who are *physically* stronger wouldn't risk their life or freedom to free other men, women & children like Harriet did? Please don't have children and screw off.
Because we integrated with them and never made those who dominate this land pay for evils and hold them accountable. If black people fight to stand against a wrong, it is usually the female population that fights with children.
Yes, that is an excellent idea. I would also like to visit her grave sight and spend some time with Ms Tubman. She is a legendary icon whose will live in our hearts forever! I would like to say, “Thank you!” to her. 🙏🏽
When I was a little girl I read a biography of Ms Tubman. I remember thinking how brave she was and that I was afraid of the dark. How brave and tough she must have been. And when she was little a terrible man in a general store threw a scale weight at her hitting her in the head. Thereafter she would black out. Sometimes it actually happened on nights she was leading slaves to freedom. They’d have to hide and wait till she regained consciousness. The hardships she endured and her courage are incredible. She was so brave and determined.
@@ironsyde8315 I think you should watch the video again, more specifically the part about how just because one may be illiterate, that doesn’t make them ignorant
@Queen Boo .....It wasn’t completely grammatically correct, but then again, I do not believe that English is the commenters first language. But Mr. Romero’s point is the #fact here.....#tolerance✊🏾
If someone is so-called illiterate doesn't mean they are stupid. That might be they learned a different way. Ooh she was a fire cracker in her days. True Warrior. God bless her soul . Continued to rest in peace and glory Ma'am.
Literacy is a european western bar of judgement. Europeans used that standard because they knew a lot of indigenous people used oral history or various forms of art to communicate in certain parts of the world.
A salute to Harriet...The movie HARRIET is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Riveting.. Inspiring...I grew up in a small white community that was one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad before reaching Canada. A city now the community is very proud of that "house." The rail tracks from the south still pass within several hundred feet of that house which has been restored. Community was also home to Native Americans.
@@PSALMS-oe7ri Great...I went to a theater on Halloween night to see it shortly after the release. I just sat there after it was over for a few minutes and the lights had come on..
I grew up in Auburn New York. We have the Harriet Tubman house, the William Seward house. And we have Fort Hill cemetery, we’re both are buried. Harriet’s burial spot is a very small, modest grave. Should’ve been a much nicer display erected to memorialize her. But perhaps she didn’t want that, who knows. But she was definitely one of America’s great heroes. May she Rest In Peace 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Have as of in ownership/ possession? Or have as in a skip and hop meaning in your area? Curious because I'm sure she has descendants that should be in possession of such an amazing piece of BLACK History.
@@lyricsession4461 I’m sure somebody does. Who I don’t know. I do believe she does have descendants who still live in the Auburn area. The best people to talk to about that are the historians and caretakers of her house which is now a historic landmark, and can be toured by the general public.
@@lyricsession4461 Hi, born and raised in auburn! I recently graduated from our high school (in 2015) and I remember going to school with a few different people who were related to her! So she definitely still has family around!
@100 Journeys I never heard that before. But yes…I guess that’s a possibility. Who knows what they did with gravesites way back then? I’ve heard that Abraham Lincoln was buried there for a temporary time under the cobblestone roadway so that nobody can dig up his body. They would later move him to another burial site. That whole story was probably hogwash. But people in those days did do stuff like that on occasion. So who knows? But the Fort Hill cemetery definitely has a lot of history to it.
its a lovely home and its well maintained. But when i look at this in the back of my mind i think of a number of caucasians marching there with ropes, tiki torches and knives . that deep fear has always prevented me from loving homes but opt for apartments instead.
@@PHlophe Don't live in fear. We never die, we only leave our bodies. If it is something that you want to experience go for it. You should go for it if you want a house.
I didn't realize she wasn't even 5 ft tall. They say dynamite comes in small packages, and she is proof! She's also proof that if we set our minds to helping a cause, we can do it; it just takes courage and determination, something that's lacking in so many today. RIP, Harriet. Job well done.
I'm almost 44 and I am JUST NOW learning this place stands. She was an incredible woman and deserves to be done better by historians. More on the woman behind the scenes. She isn't alone. Where are their stories? We've got to do a better job telling ALL of history. Thank you so much for teaching me today.
Harriet Tubman did so many things that were not taught to kids when I went to school. And possibly still not taught. So I thank you sir for teaching us this amazing part of history. Much love and respect to you.
You're right, this is still not taught in school. We must teach our children and motivate them to read about our history. Thank you Harriet Tubman, thank you.
Your so right I knew about her working to free slaves, but not the home for the aged. I do think however they ought to plant some roses or other perennial flowers.Ut looks so bare, and sad like that.
“Harriet was a woman that lived for a cause, and not just because” is so powerful. Many of us today are living and doing just because and not for the cause. If we could flip that, we’d progress so much further as a people.
Abraham Lincoln was referring to Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. This book helped initiate conversations of the harshness of slavery, thereby fueling the Civil War.
BLESS THIS PRECIOUS WOMEN HER SOUL WILL LIVE IN HISTORY FOREVER I THANK YOU MS.HARRIET TUBMAN FOR YOUR COURAGE AND ABILITY TO STAND AS A BLACK WOMAN AND FIGHT FOR FREEDOM NOT ONLY FOR YOURSELF BUT YOU HELP OTHERS THANK YOU AGAIN I CANT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO YOU ENOUGH
I just watched the movie. She was certainly an incredible courageous women who is an inspiration to us all. God’s hand was certainly on her. May God raise up Harriet Tubman’s in our day and time.
@sapphirecatherine is back Purplecherries because just like now.white people have authority. Worst back then so she seeks help from people who could help her accomplish her mission. And yes just one of her so 🤷
@sapphirecatherine is back Purplecherries oh okay cause bible been written 1000xs. Plus a lie dont care who tells it ☹️. A white person wrote the part you read. Eitherway I understand now. Thanks 😊 for explaining...i got it now
@@Katie-t1b,I would love to visit her grave,I have held her in the highest regard since four grade....when I read her Life story at an all white school back in the sixties!
What an amazing soul! I will be visiting her former house and pay respect at her grave this year. I have read about her exploits growing up and imagined the courage it would have took to do what she did. I am at a loss of words......may she eternally Rest In Peace!!!
Aloha from Maui, Hawaii, this is one of the best American story in history. An so lucky to hear the the full history in this way. Well spoken is this man. Happy Black history month. Leah Tunkara
This is my home town born in raised in the AUB!!!!! I miss home. I been here so many times with my dad pastor Oliver Thomas. It is really an amazing place to see. She was a powerful strong woman.
If I could have a child again, I would proudly name my child Harriet 💗!! And no, I'm not African American... But THINK of the incredible & AMAZING WOMAN THIS LADY WAS!!!!
I am mixed Armenian and Hispanic woman, I’ve always loved to learn about history since middle school. Harriet is a true hero and I just love reading and learning more about her. I sometimes often look her up and read about her time and time again. Such an extraordinary powerful woman.
It doesn’t matter that she couldn’t read or write! She had worldly knowledge like what we call today street smarts! Plus common sense always helps to when you need it! Thanks so much for sharing that information about Harriet Tubman David! She led a very helpful life! 🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸🙏🏻
She's my guardian angel I've been told. She watches over me and has adopted me as one of her own. I really want to visit her home. Due to COVID might not be able to this summer. I do know I'd become emotional she's someone I can't wait to meet in the afterlife
I am in England and its going to be in the cards for me also. I have a little daughter, i just need to find hotels not far from there . I like that BHM month niche stories are being recommended to me all year round . I worked so hard to mold my main page to the image of our ancestors , there is soul and melanin on 90% of my recommendations.
Thank you for sharing this lovely information about this very honorable woman, Harriet Tubman. I love & admire this woman she is my inspiration. I learned of her when the movie Roots came out I was 14 yrs. old, and I promised myself no matter how many kids I have they will all watch this movie, not only because it is an important part of history, also we could and should all learn something from this and their experience. I had 3 daughters and watched it with all three of them so they would know and understand not only their reality, struggle, also their pain. It's wise to understand different people, different cultures, and different lifestyles that's what brings us together. Rest Peacefully Harriet Tubman 💕
What an honor to have heard this on this site. I read one of the comments that said, “This was never taught in school”. That is so true. But I am glad that we have social media and we are able to become more literate to the truth. It is a blessing to hear true positive stories like these. I certainly do not want to be illiterate of our past. Thank you for sharing the truth. God bless.
I had no idea about this! What a beautiful place she had, and what an amazing human being she was! I’ve always respected her, even though I’m white, for all that she did, and am grateful that this place has been cared for in her memory. Definitely adding this to my bucket list for sure!
I learned more about the life of Harriet Tubman in this video than I ever did in school. A courageous & strong woman. I ask myself on many days...do I have the strength to stand & be counted? Do I have the strength to stand for what is right & just? Hearing about those throughout history who risked their lives for a cause helps guide me.
That was lovely thank you. Her inspiration to me is ever unfolding as I learn more about her. I love she bought the land, 32 acres no less. Truly blessed for her loving service to humanity. A great spirit come among us in a small package. 2nd Moses.
One of my favorite quotes from her "I had reasoned this one in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.
She is one of my Forever Hero’s! She has always been near and dear to my Heart! Since I was a Child I have Loved her and Researched her, learning all that I could and can about her! I have been born and raised in Maryland and I am proud to share a state with her! She is a True World Hero!💜🤟🏻❤️
I love what he said she stood for “Live for a cause not just because!” It seems she helped many people in many ways! She is an inspiration! Thanks for sharing Harriet Tubman’s story! 🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸🙏🏻
@ WHYY!! ISN'T BECAUSE SHE'S AN AFRICAN AMERICA SOLDIER WHO PUT HER LIFE ON THE LINE! KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SHE GOT CAUGHT!!SHE DID WHAT NO OTHER SCARY AZZZZ RACE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR THEIR PEOPLE!!SO WITH ME KNOWING,HER FACE SHOULD BE ON ONE OF OUR BILLS (MONEY) WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY FOR ANY CAUSE!!!!JUST SAYING 🤔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Truly exceptional woman! I can attest that 4'11" women (my mom's height) get stuff done. You can't even fight their force. I was blown away by Harriet Tubman as a child when my mom was teaching us with flash cards as kids of all the prominent African Americans. She was determined that we would know that we could afford the things we have in this world because of brave people like Harriet. Harriet Tubman is a SHEro for us all.
I just finished watching the movie they made about her. What a brave woman she was. I really enjoyed the movie so much. It brought emotions in me I will never forget. Great woman
So proud to have her as a role model and citizen of our city of Auburn. Mia Angelou called this the city of Hope when she was here. We should make that our official tag line!!
When I was in school over 50 yrs ago I learned about her in a social study report I had to do on her. I have never forgotten that report on Harriet Tubman to this day. She was a true hero.
Jill Marie when the time come,You will do it, Because God Almighty in Heaven heard you and hears your prayers and concerns, In the name of Jesus Christ Amen 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Amen
I really appreciate that I came across this video. I learned a lot. My favorite is the fact that she's little like me and yet a worrier more than any man. She established so much by helping others. Thank you for sharing this. May she RIP. Lot of love and prayers.
I watched her movie and the most moving forward for me in that movie and her life was that she was a True Believer in God she did not move until she received the message that it was time to move "be still and behold." A TRUE ANGEL, AND FOOT SOLIDER OF THE LORD.
