Event Details
The Library is proud to partner with Active Minds and community experts for an ongoing series of lectures to foster lifelong learning. Free. Drop in.
This month's topic is Harriet Tubman. Born into slavery in Maryland around 1822, Harriet Tubman emancipated herself as a young woman and found safe haven in Philadelphia. She later returned to the slave-holding South to guide other enslaved people to freedom, making at least 13 journeys as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad. Tubman continued her work for abolition throughout the Civil War and served the United States Army as a nurse, a spy, a scout, and a leader. Join Active Minds as we explore the life and legacy of a remarkable woman.
