America Should Never Underestimate Harriet Tubman

As we continue to witness the political polarization in America, it is rather puzzling and perplexing to understand some of the changes under the Trump administration. It is one thing to modify the historical content, it is taking a big risk to "re-write" the history of the nation. Harriet Tubman, one of the well-known heroes during the Civil War, is facing some major political criticism. Only few could understand how Trump' team are making the "right move." In this episode, Dr. Edda L. Fields-Black, joins our show to talk more. Dr. Edda L. Fields-Black is a specialist in the transnational history of West Africa rice, peasant farmers in the pre-colonial Upper Guinea coast and enslaved laborers on antebellum Lowcountry South Carolina and Georgia rice plantations. She is the author of the new book called "COMBEE: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom during the Civil War."
