Moses: When Harriett Tubman Led Her People To Freedom


Module 3

Moses: When Harriett Led Her People To Freedom by Carole Boston Weatherford

The book Moses: When Harriett Tubman Led Her People to Freedom was a very good book to read. Harriett was born as a slave and spent most of her life as a slave. In the book it shows how Harriett’s faith in God prayer helped her to escape to freedom. Her faith in God is also what allowed her to return nineteen more times to free other slaves. Harriett Tubman was called the Moses of her people.

My Impression
I love reading about Harriett Tubman. It just amazes me how one woman could do so much especially during a time when all the odds are against her. Then I read a found that it had everything to do with her faith in God. The story should be an inspiration to all who are afraid to dream. Just think if Harriett Tubman did not have the faith to believe she could escape, there may be many family trees without any branches.

I love using the website below. It can be used in the classroom. It is on the National Geographic Website. It can be used for history, geography, science and music lessons.
