Description

Harriet Tubman: Toward Freedom by Whit Taylor and Kazimir Lee chronicles the life of Harriet Tubman, a woman of exceptional courage who escaped slavery only to return and rescue others from its clutches. Undertaking approximately thirteen missions, Tubman helped free around seventy enslaved individuals by utilising and expanding the network of abolitionists known as the Underground Railroad. Her life was dedicated to activism, tirelessly speaking out for both Black people and women's suffrage.

This modern account of her journey to save her brothers is detailed and authentic. The illustrations are crafted with a keen attention to historical accuracy, providing insight into the life and mindset of Tubman as a woman driven by an unwavering resolve to dismantle an unjust society's chains. This book serves as a profound anti-racist narrative for our times, offering readers a deep understanding of the true meaning of freedom for those who must fight for it.
