{{quote|''Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
''Wasn't scared of nothing neither
''Didn't come in this world to be no slave
''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.
