Nineteen times she went back South
To get three hundred others
She ran for her freedom nineteen times
To save Black sisters and brothers
—“Harriet Tubman,”
Eloise Greenfield
What does this text reveal about Tubman?
She was always trying to do things better.
She did not value her freedom as much as other formerly enslaved people valued theirs.
She was not happy living in the North.
She was willing to risk her life and her freedom to help enslaved people escape.
