Queen Harriet Tubman "H.T. Blood Money"
Tubman was born into slavery in Eastern Maryland sometime between 1820 and 1821. Because of the cruelty of her various masters, she desired to somehow escape from bondage from a very early age, and free others as well. She would later recall, "I had seen their tears and sighs, and I had heard their groans, and would give every drop of blood in my veins to free them."
After escaping from slavery, she returned to Maryland in 1850 as an Underground Railroad “conductor.” She chose to do so after hearing her niece was soon to be auctioned off. She would go on to rescue over 70 other slaves until the outbreak of the Civil War, and did not fail a single rescue. It was during this time she acquired her nickname "Moses."
One of the most famous missions she took part in was the raid on Combahee Ferry in South Carolina. During this raid, she worked with Union Colonel James Montgomery to free over 700 slaves at once.
Harriet Tubman died on March 10, 1913 at the rest home named in her honor in Auburn, New York. She was buried with military honors in the Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn, which also included such figures as Secretary of State William Seward.
The US Treasury said in 2016 Harriet Tubman would replace former President Andrew Jackson, a slave owner.it is 2021 we are still waiting. So I decided to paint her myself. No words can describe painting Harriet, I actually cried at times. I could feel her powerful spirit speak to me , with her piercing eyes filled with anger and sadness. I hope I have done her legacy honor and justice.
