I wonder how you did it
a nubian goddess like you
though i bet you didnt know it back then
yet i must ask you;
Araminta, how did you do it?
Crawlin in the thicks of the nights
with men, children and wives alike
knowing it just might be your last
yet risking it
for the sake
of us
I thank you for your courage
and appreciate the love you spread
RIP ma ma heroin
To ma girl of all time;
Araminta AKA Harriet Tubman
June 14 1820- March 10 1913

Is it wrong that I only know the name but have no clue what she did... i need to read my history sha... dang this is what biochemistry does to a person!
oh ma wordd! u embarrass me! does "the underground railroad" ring a bell to you? Araminta (famously known as Harriet Tubman)is the black woman that escaped and then helped several other blacks escape from the states into Canada (i think) during the slavery days...
beautiful ode
she would have loved it
