Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross, c. 1820 -- 10 March 1913) was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the U.S. Civil War. After escaping from captivity, she made thirteen missions to rescue over three hundred slaves using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era struggled for women's suffrage.


International Women's Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Triangle Shirtwaist Company, owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, occupied the top three floors of the ten-story Asch building in New York City at the intersection of Greene Street and Washington Place, just east of Washington Square.

The company employed approximately 500 workers, mostly young immigrant women from different places in Germany, Italy and Eastern Europe. Some of the women were as young as twelve or thirteen and worked fourteen-hour shifts during a 60-hour to 72-hour workweek. According to Pauline Newman, a worker at the factory, the average wage for employees in the factory was six to seven dollars a week.[3]

The Triangle Shirtwaist Company had already become well-known outside the garment industry by 1911: the massive strike by women's shirtwaist makers in 1909, known as the Uprising of 20,000, began with a spontaneous walkout at the Triangle Company.

While the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union negotiated a collective bargaining agreement covering most of those workers after a four-month strike, Triangle Shirtwaist refused to sign the agreement.

The conditions of the factory were typical of the time. Flammable textiles were stored throughout the factory, scraps of fabric littered the floors, patterns and designs on sheets of tissue paper hung above the tables, the men who worked as cutters sometimes smoked, illumination was provided by open gas lighting, and there were a few buckets of water to extinguish fires.

One thing about Harriet Tubman that folks DON'T know - was the fact that she was not just the leader of the underground railroad, but she was also a murderer. She would kill anyone in her way - she would also kill slaves who showed fear. Learn a little deeper about the TRUE history.... And don't try to tell me that I'm wrong... I live in Dorchester County - just 10 minutes from her home where she was born..... Only we know the true Harriet Tubman... Want to know more? message me.

Thank you for that, it was very inspirational. I think it's important for people to acknowledge the strive of the black culture to free itself from the shackles of slavery, as it is something we as a people collectively are experiencing.

What makes our situation so different now is the emphasis on the role of women in our culture, and empowering them. Unfortunately many of them have taken to using their bodies to empower themselves, rather then their intellect.

Excellent message and song, Papillon. People forget how important women are until it's too late.
