Born a slave, Harriet Tubman knew what it meant to be someone's property. Learning about the Underground Railroad, she traveled alone to Philadelphia. Throughout her life and long after the slavery ended, she was proof of what just one person can do.

Describes Tubman's spiritual journey as she hears the voice of God guiding her north to freedom on that very first trip to escape the brutal practice of forced servitude. Tubman would make nineteen subsequent trips back south, never being caught, but none as profound as this first one.
