Harriet Tubman was guided by a deep faith and devotion to family, freedom, and community. After emancipating herself and members of her family, she moved them from Ontario, Canada to Fleming and Auburn, New York in 1859. Central New York was a center for progressive thought, abolition, and women’s suffrage where Tubman continued to fight for human rights and dignity until she died in 1913.
Harriet Tubman settled in Central New York, where she found her haven, her community, and her family’s home in freedom.
Harriet Tubman emancipated herself and escaped to freedom at age 27, then guided dozens of freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad.
