B
In the state of Maryland, a girl was born into slavery(奴隶制) in 1820. Her parents named her Araminta Harriet Ross. She was to become Harriet Tubman. She was one of about one million Africans in slavery in the United States.
From the age of five, Harriet Tubman’s owners made her work very hard. First, she cared for the child of the farm owner. Then, she did hard work on large farms.
Although she could not read or write, Tubman learned from her parents to do what was right. Through her whole life, Tubman put herself in danger to help other people.
One such act changed her life when she was 13 years old. Because she helped another slave, her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head. She was badly hurt. For the rest of her life Tubman’s head wound caused problems for her.
When she was about 25 years old, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman. But she was still a slave. Her life was so difficult that she decided to escape. She travelled for 145 kilometres, and finally crossed into the North. Harriet Tubman became a free woman.
But Harriet Tubman could not leave her family enslaved in the South. So she travelled back to help them escape as well. Then, she made many trips and guided about 300 slaves to freedom. Harriet Tubman also fought bravely in the American Civil War and in 1865 slavery was not allowed in the US.
Harriet Tubman died in 1913. Her memory brings hope to many people — especially to those who fight for justice(正义). She encouraged people to never give up.
