listen to the album

Harriet Tubman escaped slavery to become a leading abolitionist, guiding dozens of enslaved people to freedom along the Underground Railroad. Born into slavery in Maryland in 1822, she escaped to Philadelphia in 1849 and then returned to help rescue her family and others, making around 13 trips to the South. Tubman’s courageous efforts to guide enslaved people to freedom earned her the nickname "Moses" and cemented her legacy as one of the greatest abolitionists in history. Using her knowledge of the landscape and a network of abolitionists, Tubman safely escorted enslaved people through dangerous routes to freedom. She famously said, “I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger,” highlighting her success and determination. Tubman’s bravery inspired many to join the abolitionist movement, and her actions contributed significantly to the success of the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, Tubman worked as a nurse, cook, and spy for the Union Army, even leading a raid that freed over 700 enslaved people. After the war, she continued to fight for women's suffrage and racial equality, dedicating her life to social justice. Tubman’s legacy as a symbol of courage, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of freedom continues to inspire generations.

lyrics

The Suitors When Freedom Rings feat Medusa

When freedom rang who did they hope was coming

Harriet Tubman

Who they were looking for when they thought about runnin

Harriet Tubman

I'm talkin about a sista wit a whole lotta courage

That bravery developed raised in slavery courage

The kind that'll make you walk off in your purpose, Freedom!

Fresh backlashes and malnourished the 1st trip

She knew them woods done ran from peckerwoods before she remembered it

Path the old trees made and how the river dipped, Freedom!

Women this is when you tie up your dress

Strap them babies to your chest, We done came quite a way but got a long journey left

Ain't no time for all that crying yet!

Trust move fast have faith and follow the one they call Harriet, Harriet

I said trust have faith and follow the one they call Harriet, Harriet

When freedom rang who did they hope was coming

Harriet Tubman

Who did they listen for when they thought about runnin

Harriet Tubman

They made it through the river and a 10 mile hike

Been running through the woods all damn night

She knows it's a sight to see 10 black people running in broad daylight

So Harriet on pure faith and hope

Take em to a plantation she worked before

With a gang of unbeaten nigaros

Slaved to a kinder white folks

They resisted she insisted FREEDOM!

Hid them in a crawl space under the porch FREEDOM!

Now they one of the main reasons FREEDOM!

They survived the travel up North. FREEDOM!

When freedom rang who did they hope was coming

Harriet Tubman

Who did they listen for when they thought about runnin

Harriet Tubman

Now they living in a new land - FREEDOM!

Her and her people tasting freedom cuz she took a stand.

Harriet rested while devising a new plan

Like a train know a track she knew the way back

Like the back of her hand back for the fam.

She made countless trips back-and-forth

To bring her people from South to North

From the woods Harriet would sing a note

Letting black folks know the underground

Railroad is ready to transport - FREEDOM!

Mmmhmm Mmmhmm
