Inspiring Animated Heroes - Harriet Tubman DVD

A great leader of her time, Harriet Tubman, teaches kids about courage, sacrifice and compassion. Imagine living a life of hard work, no education and occasional harsh punishment and you can envision slavery in the 1800s. Harriet Tubman, like most slaves, was born and raised into slavery and longed to escape the South. Harriet was a great leader of her time, determined to advance to freedom or to die in the effort. She freed over 300 slaves between 1849-1860 and never lost one. Like Moses, she overcame tremendous obstacles to set a person free. Harriet, although illiterate, began giving lectures calling for the abolition of slavery and a redefinition of womans rights. In 1861, when the Civil War began she served as a nurse, spy and scout for the Union army. Harriet was invaluable in all services she rendered. Feature DVD run time: approximate 30 minutes
