The Freedom of Harriet Tubman

For this episode, Michael Respert joins us to discuss Harriet Tubman's legacy of strength and leadership. Harriet Tubman had to overcome limitations placed on African American slaves and women to become a renowned advocated for the liberation of slaves. And, she carried a pistol. And, she fought in the Civil War. And, she had brain surgery without anesthetics (because that's how the soldiers did it during the war).

For Michael, it was learning how to free himself.
