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.
