'Tubman stood at the intersection of race and gender and ushered in freedom for all because her own freedom required it.' —JProfessor Explore our Tubman200 project:
reminds us, “Being exceptional isn’t revolutionary, it’s lonely.” Tubman became a revolutionary hero because she valued her sense of community more than her sense of exceptionalism.
