Heroes in Black History

Heroes in Black History
Dave + Neta Jackson

(1-36)

- Harriet Tubman real name is Araminta Ross who was born a slave around 1820 on a Maryland plantation and got the nickname 'minty' by the owner Edward Brodas.

- She then married John Tubman and he would tell her master every time she would tell him about running but she still didn't give up on hope of freedom.

- She was hired as a nurse and a spy for the Union Army during the Civil war but never got her paid. 

- It's either liberty or death, as Harriet always thought and believed.

- Samuel was hated by the crew because he had no skill in sailing and because his skin color was black.


- What did Harriet do when it felt too tired to go on?

- Why doesn't her free husband want her to be free too?

- How did the Grebos capture Kaboo?

- How did Samuel seem to be able to change Merritt's mind?


- Gnawed(19): To bite or chew on.

- Revivals(22): Restoration to use, acceptance, or currency.

- Evangelistic(34): To preachers of the gospel.


- "A light flashed, and God spoke from heaven"(22).

- "They became, like one family"(24).


- This is about Harriet freeing the slave, to choose liberty or death, Kaboo being taken as pawn because his father could not pay off the debts because of the war that broke out, Samuel being an importance impact and changed minds, and about Amanda who sang and spoke her message of salvation and holiness.
