Munich in June with my Emory professor, Dr. Peter Bing, who helped me with Latin quotes in COMBEE's primary sources. I enjoyed the English Garden, the Eisbach, LMU university & White Rose Memorial, and Lebkuchen-Schmidt’s vegan gingerbread (in honor of Tubman).

I had a ball on the @tavissmiley Show last week! We relived the moment COMBEE won the Pulitzer, talked about Sec. Pete Hegseth and birthright citizenship, and, of course, the Combahee River Raid! . Listen here: .

The reprint of COMBEE with the Pulitzer Prize sticker is here!. I’m grateful to every supporter who’s helped share this story. Your enthusiasm continues to bring Harriet Tubman, the Second South Carolina Volunteers, and the Combahee freedom seekers’ heroism into the spotlight.

This July 4th, we celebrate freedom and remember how our ancestors fought for it. Harriet Tubman didn’t just dream of liberty; she delivered it. Her leadership in the Combahee River Raid helped free over 750 people. Let’s honor America by preserving the histories that shaped it.

Harriet Tubman is a U.S. military hero, and I, along with my colleague and Tubman biographer Kate Clifford Larson, detail why Secretary Pete Hegseth should not strip her name from the USNS Harriet Tubman in this Washington Post opinion piece.

What better way to celebrate Juneteenth than talking about Harriet Tubman as a Backcountry Bad A$$! . Listen to my exciting podcast on "Backcountry Manifesto" with host Hayden Samaak.

Thanks truly @RicCantrell! It's Great to see the story of Harriet Tubman & the Combahee River Raid reaching as far west as Utah. This is American history. It's time our stories of bondage & freedom are told!.

A month before Gettysburg, Harriet Tubman led a team up the river to rice fields in South Carolina and freed over 700 people. This was the first I heard of it, so I started listening to @eddafieldsblack's book at lunch and it's riveting. Thanks to.
