Harriet Tubman escaped enslavement in 1849. Once free, she returned time and again to Maryland to lead family and friends north to freedom. Tubman fought for liberty and equality, refusing to be bound by slavery or limited by her sex and skin color. During the Civil War she worked as a spy and was the first American woman to lead an armed raid. Come hear author Kate Clifford Larsen describe how this ordinary woman did the extraordinary.

Dr. Larson is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of four critically acclaimed biographies: Walk With Me: A Biography of Fannie Lou Hamer; Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter; Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero; and The Assassin's Accomplice: Mary Surratt and the Plot to Kill Abraham Lincoln.
