Harriet Tubman's pivotal role as a Union spy
from On The Record · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore
In Maryland we know Harriet Tubman best for fearlessly guiding people out of bondage. She was also a priceless scout and spy for the Union. Historian Edda Fields-Black, in her book "Combee," recounts Tubman’s vital role when the army liberated hundreds of enslaved rice-plantation workers. Fields-Black will be at the Enoch Pratt's Central Library tonight at 7 pm. Register to attend in-person or view live online.
