{{quote|''Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff

''And wasn't going to stay one either.''
|Harriet Tubman (poem) by Eloise Greenfield}}
'''Harriet Tubman''' was born [[Vague Age|sometime in the 1820s]], a slave on an American plantation in Maryland. She started life as a house slave, and when she grew up was assigned to work in the fields and forests. One day when she was still quite young, she was running an errand at a dry-goods store and was caught in the pursuit of a runaway slave. She was left with a violent head injury, and for the rest of her life she suffered seizures and narcoleptic fits that would leave her unconscious and unable to be woken up.
In 1849, she successfully escaped from Maryland into the free state of Pennsylvania.
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
Naturally, if there are time travelers arriving in [[Antebellum America]] or you want to have present day American heroes have noble heroic ancestors, you can expect them to be giving Tubman some help.
In 2016 the United States Treasury department was in the process of redesigning the United States $20 bill to bear Tubman's image, replacing Andrew Jackson, only for the [[Donald Trump|Trump]] administration to cancel the project almost immediately upon taking office.
