IntroductionFamous Quotation: "I had crossed the line I was free but there was no one to

welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land."

Best known for: She freed a lot

of slaves by going back and

forth on the UndergroundRailroad.

3 Key Qualities:1. Demonstrated bravery2. Took action 3. Persevered

What I find interesting: She was

a slave.

I chose this person because shewas a slave, and I thought it

would be interesting to learn

about slavery.

Overcame a Hardship/Challenge

Harriet was a slave. She

was often beaten and

slaves weren't paid. She

was owned by someoneand she didn't have any

rights.I think it was hard for

her to be beaten for

things that she really

couldn't help doing

because she was hungry

and thirsty.


4/14

Showed Compassion and Empathy

One day Harriet came between

the master and a slave when the

master threw a metal weight at

the slave. It hit Harriet instead.I think she showed compassion

because she didn't want the

slave to get hit and would rather

be hit herself. She was brave andcould have been killed.


5/14

Took Action

Harriet Tubman escaped with

three of her brothers. They

decided to turn back. Two nights

later she went alone. "I had a

right to liberty or death," she

said after her escape.I think that she wants to be free

and have rights so even thoughher brothers decided to escape

and she escaped.


6/14

Persevered

From 1850 to 1861 Harriet

Tubman helped hundreds of

African Americans escape

slavery by going back on the

plantations 15 times to save

others slaves. She lead the

Underground Railroad.I think that she risked her lifeand she could have been

caught.

Impact: How Things are Different Today

Harriet Tubman was a

conductor on the

Underground Railroad,

and she rescued about

three hundred runaway

slaves. I think she made an

impact because shehelped fight against

slavery by freeing slaves.


8/14

Demonstrated Bravery

Harriet Tubman was a spy

during the Civil War in 1863. I think she was so so brave

to be a spy because she

could have gotten caught

and killed.

Tubman made at least 15 trips

to free slaves.

Took action by Harriet Tubman

self.

Showed compassion when shehelped protect another slave by

stepping in front of him when the

Underground Railroad.

Im a Change Maker when I stand

up for other people.

Im similar to my Change Makerbecause I want the world to be

free.

My Change Maker is

connected to Ruby Bridges

because they both were dealing

with white people who didn't like

them because of the color of

their skin.
