Thank You Sincerely

African Proverb: "The past is history, the future is a mystery, but this moment is a gift and that's why its called the present." I thank you for sharing your presents/presence with me.

The Moses Lady - BOMA Minute 4-20-17









This day, April 20, 1853 is set aside as the first day Harriett Tubman started taking passengers on the Underground Railroad. On this first run she lead her own flesh and blood sister plus her two children out of bondage from somewhere around the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
She returned a year later to set her brother free and in 1857 she led her elderly parents to freedom. It is believed that over a 10-year span Ms. Tubman made upwards of 19 journeys and freed more than 300 men, women and children.
The following is a narrative of one of those episodes.
