Great job with your podcast, Kenzie. I did hear a small cough in the background. I really enjoyed your southern accent. Keep up the good work!

Harriet Tubman Narration
Narrator: Here is a narrative of Harriet Tubman. She will be discussing when she escaped, and what she did after she escaped.
Harriet Tubman: M-my owner was named Brodess. In 1849 he died. His widow, Eliza, was trying to decide my fate, but I couldn’t wait no longer. “There was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.” S-so I escaped on September 17 of 1849, with my two brothers, Ben and Henry. We worked at a plantation; Eliza ain’t think we had escaped. Two weeks later, though, she posted a runaway notice for $100 for each of us. M-my brothers went back, so I had no choice but to go back with ‘em. Eventually, I escaped again, but this time I ain’t with my brothers. I used the network, the Underground Railroad. I-I eventually made it to Philadelphia. When I made it to Philadelphia, I felt like I were in Heaven. After I reached Philadelphia, I began to think about my family. “My father, my mother, my brothers, and sisters, and friends were in Maryland.” I was free, so they should be free, too. I-In 1850, I received a warning that my niece, Kessiah, were going to be sold with her two children. I returned to Baltimore, and hid ‘em. W-we got her and her family safe to Philadelphia. The next spring, I went back to Maryland, and I brought back my brother Moses and two other men. I-I led more and more individuals out of slavery, bit by bit. I became more and more confident with each trip to Maryland. I was soon known as “Moses,” from the book of Exodus, where Moses led the Hebrews to freedom. I saved some people in my family and others that ain’t in my family, but in the end, it all worked out.
Narrator: This concludes Harriet Tubman’s story about escaping, and helping other slaves escape. She was a brave and courageous woman, who risked her life for others. I hope you enjoyed this interesting story about Harriet Tubman.
