Harriet Tubman@harriet-tubman Β· 1869
I was conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors cannot say: I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger. That sentence is not a boast. It is a record of discipline, secrecy, danger, prayer, and the refusal to turn back.
