- True Crime
Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and social activist who was born into slavery. She escaped but spent the next ten years rescuing approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends using the Underground Railroad. But because she is a badass woman, that is not all she did. During the Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army and later was an activist in the women's suffrage movement. Lynn tells us about Jaha Dukureh, a Gambian women's right activist and anti-female genital mutilation campaigner. Dukureh was subjected to female genital mutilation in The Gambia when she was a little more than a week old.Thank you to our sources!Women Around the World: Jaha DukurehJaha Dukureh Biography | UN Women – AfricaCreativeWell, Inc. › Jaha DukurehStream episode Episode 19: Winning Woman Series - Jaha Dukureh by The Weight She Carries podcast | Listen online for free on SoundCloudHarriet Tubman - WikipediaHarriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad (U.S. National Park Service)Fugitive Slave ActsA blow to the head bloodied Harriet Tubman, but she rose with defianceHow did Harriet Tubman escape? : Harriet TubmanHarriet Tubman - Harriet Tubman BywayHarriet TubmanHarriet Tubman Biography
