Today, March 10th, is Harriet Tubman day. On this day in 1913, a great humanitarian, abolitionist, union spy and brave beyond measure, left this earthly plane.
What she left behind is a legacy of strength and courage that we all would be lucky to have.
Harriet (born Araminta Ross) was a slave for nearly 30 years before escaping the brutality of being thought of as mere 'property', taken advantage of and beaten.
Harriet was instrumental in using the aide of antislavery activists and safe houses (Underground Railroad) to rescue over seventy slaves.
It is said that moments before Harriet passed she told those nearby: "I go to prepare a place for you."

I'm sure she is at peace in the place prepared for her.
Wade in the Water. God's gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in White?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God's gonna trouble the water.
