Quote
“William Still-Who’d you make the journey with?
Harriet Tubman-I left my husband and family. It was just me and the Lord.
William Still-Well, I don’t know if you know how extraordinary this is, but by some miraculous means, you have made it one hundred miles to freedom, all by yourself. Would you like to pick a new name to mark your freedom? Most ex-slaves do. Any name you want.
Harriet Tubman-They call my mama Rit, but her name Harriet. I want my mama name and my husband. Harriet Tubman.
William Still-Harriet Tubman.”
