About This Program

Harriet Tubman's legendary life is widely known: escaping enslavement, leading others to freedom via the Underground Railroad, and tirelessly fighting for change.

But a crucial chapter that is often overlooked are her daring Civil War exploits, detailed in Edda L. Fields- Black's groundbreaking book Combee. Descendant of raid participants, Fields-Black unveils Tubman's command of spies and pilots, leading a raid that liberated hundreds and shaped American history.

Registration is required.
