Harriet Tubman

I think it's International Women's Day today.

Went to Wikipedia to look for HIV/AIDS information when I stumbled upon an entry featuring Harriet Tubman.

Excerpt taken from Wikipedia:

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross; c. 1820 – March 10, 1913) was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the U.S. Civil War. After escaping from slavery, into which she was born, she made thirteen missions to rescue over seventy slaves[1] using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era struggled for women's suffrage.

I urge all people who ends up reading this post of mine to check out the following Wikipedia page:
