"[T]here was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other."
Today marks the 1st day of my favorite month (besides September of course). Black History Month!
The above quote is from Harriet Tubman, one of the most amazing women to live during that time. She is credited with having helped over 300 slaves to escape to Canada and the Northern states. She worked tirelessly, despite physical ailments and the danger of the job.
I would like to honor this woman today, for all the sacrifices she made and the beautiful life she led.
