Harriet Tubman (c. 1822–March 10, 1913), also known as "Black Moses, "Grandma Moses," or "Moses of Her People," was an African-American abolitionist. An escaped slave, she worked as a lumberjack, laundress, nurse, and cook. As an abolitionist, she acted as intelligence gatherer, refugee organizer, raid leader, nurse, and fundraiser, all as part of the struggle for liberation from slavery and racism.
