Harriet Tubman risked everything to free 70+ enslaved people & never lost a passenger. In the face of authoritarianism, we honor her courage & resistance. Freedom isn’t given—it’s fought for. #BlackHistoryMonth #HarrietTubman #Resistance #Democracy #NeverAgain #FreedomFighter

“If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.” ~ #HarrietTubman 🇺🇸

Harriet Tubman came to Boston several times in the late 1850s and early 1860s to raise funds for her work on the Underground Railroad. www.nps.gov/articles/000... #HarrietTubman #Boston #BostonHistory

Happy Heavenly Birthday Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery on January 29, 1820 in Dorchester County, Maryland. She played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, guiding hundreds of enslaved people to freedom. RIP Queen. #HarrietTubman

“I Go To Prepare A Place For You” by Bisa Butler (American) - Quilt of cotton, silk and velvet / 2021 - National Museum of African American History & Culture #womeninart #womanartist #quilt #art #HarrietTubman #BisaButler #Smithsonian #AfricanAmerican #AmericanArt #womensart #AfricanAmericanHistory

This modern quilted and appliquéd textile portrait of Harriet Tubman by American artist Bisa Butler is based on the carte-de-visite photograph portrait of Tubman by Benjamin F. Powelson from 1868/1869.

The legendary American abolitionist and social activist is depicted in bright-colored fabrics against a dark floral background. Tubman gazes directly at us, her right arm on the back of the chair and her left hand in her lap. Her face and hands are shown in contrasting shades of blue and purple with rich reds, symbolizing her coolness, calmness, and strength as well as her power and force. Her hair is made of a deep velvet cloth, soft and opulent to mimic the soft texture of some African American hair.

Her intricately boned corset is composed of a black fabric with floral bouquets representing women as the source of life and infinity. Every flower is different as is every woman. There is a swath of orange fabric across the chest and a bright blue fabric along the center row of buttons, beneath a distinctive white collar. Yellow fabric with red birds denoting freedom compose the sleeves of Tubman’s dress.

The wide, pleated skirt is comprised of fabric based on designs by women from the Congo River including: a round section with a vibrant purple and orange floral motif against a bright teal background; an orange lion, an embodiment of Tubman; gold and orange ferns and palm fronds against a green background, symbolizing African heritage; thick foliage at the bottom of the skirt opening to a clearing to signify a journey to freedom; an orange wave hem to symbolize pain and turmoil yet small seeds grow and become flowers, symbolic of strong women; pleats or stripes evocative of the fields of crops Tubman labored in.

Black and white kente fabric composes the chair, suggesting a royal throne. The dark background with purple sunflowers and blue dots, reminiscent of the night sky, signify Tubman’s travels in the night and her tremendous faith.

Streetartwall. The wonderful mural by black activist Harriet Tubman was sprayed/painted on the outside wall of a fifteen-story skyscraper. The building is surrounded by other skyscrapers. She is depicted up to her shoulders, a beautiful black woman with a patterned headscarf and white dress. She is surrounded by white cotton plants, which she holds in her fist next to her face. The plants also cover the beige wall above her head. A text and three small elephants below the portrait complete the artwork. It reads as follows: HISTORY - I would make a home for them in the North and the Lord holping me. I would bring them all here... Harriet Tubman.
Info:
Harriet Tubman (c. 1820 - † March 10, 1913) was the best-known African-American refugee of the Underground Railroad relief organization. She was an American activist for the abolition of slavery, a nurse and a benefactor.

Harriet Tubman is an icon for freedom. She first fled slavery with two brothers in September 1849. But it was not enough to be free. She would return again and again, to help others flee to freedom. Latest episode #StoriesOfResistance @undertheshadow.bsky.social #HarrietTubman
