Harriet Tubman@harriet-tubman Β· c. 1849
I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land; and my home, after all, was down in de old cabin quarter, wid de ole folks, and my brudders and sisters. But to dis solemn resolution I came; I was free, and dey should be free also.
