the harriet dolls i have seen from the harriet dig brainy baby to the tubman american heritage doll all have one thing in common, they bear little resemblance to tubman. when i proposed a new biography of harriet tubman last century i was take n aback when a senior scholar endorsed my idea but he suggested that i needed to remind people that her first language was dutch. he was mixing her up with so he generaler in truth. when i told another scholar, a mentor actually that i would be writing a biography of the most famous african american from the 19th century he only guessed tubman on the third try starting with frederick douglas, who we know is making a come back, and then he guessed overture. >> i only include these anecdotes to demonstrate that in 1998 when i began my project incoming undergraduates were more familiar with harriet tubman's achievements than those within the formal academy. in the nine een 80s and 90s, discussions on lists and letters to the editor attempted to use to beman as a symbol for battles over gun rights versus gun control. tub mab not only shouldered a rifl

harriet muse is an illiterate maid, a washerwoman, and i think she had been a share crop are working in tobacco in virginia. we know that she contacted the authorities for a brief time, the humane society of virginia helped her look for them, but it never came to anything. the family's sense is that really not much was done to help her find them and they were really-- it's not like the internet today, you could google if you knew their show names, you could find them in the literature, they were being written about about you how is an ill literal made working in roanoke, virginia, know they're in vancouver or washington, or wherever they were? they were all over. so, somehow is came to her attention, we don't know exactly why. she told relatives it came to her in a dream that her sons were working for the side show for ringling brothers and barnum and bailey in 1927, roanoke was still a young boomtown built around the railroad and she got this idea that she was going to go to the fairgrounds where ringling brothers were going to host the big one, the greatest show on earth. and she w

whisked away to the circus side show because of their differences and this is a story about the mother, harriet muse, who risked her life, i would say, to get them back and also then to get justice for her family. if you talked to anyone who was african-american in roanoke over the age of 60 they would have remembered hearing this story. they nt would have known if it was true per se, but they would have been grown up, especially if they're going to a circus or a carnival.

harriet tubman just received her first good biography in years. we need to do a better effort in writing biographies for these individuals. what i would like to see more appreciation about is the role the underground railroad played in the coming of the war, and the nature of the war itself. out here in missouri, we tend to only think about the territorial crisis and how it sparked the war. where i am from, we think more in terms of the underground railroad and fugitives. the territorial crisis and fugitive crisis are critical catalyst. they come hand and glove and affected the politics of the 1850's. runaway slaves continue to escape throughout the floor and pave the way for emancipation and not everybody understands there is a connection between contraband and fugitives, and they need to come and we need to do a better job on the long story, the long underground railroad, and to think about it not just ending in 1861, but continuing through 21865 and beyond. some of these people -- to 1865 and beyond. it is a poignant reminder about that. i am a

eston, madison, beverly, and harriet. it is important to remember that slaves were property. they could be inherited through marriage as well as being bought and sold. when jefferson married his wife martha in 1772, she was the daughter of a wealthy slave trader. it was through him that jefferson inherited 135 slaves, and sally hemmings was one of those. she was not born at monticello. she was born on the eastern shore. she arrived here in about 1773. sally hemmings is a person stranded in -- shrouded in mystery. there are only four references to her that exist. jefferson himself never wrote about her explicitly. she remains this mysterious figure. i think it is important to emphasize that she was related to jefferson's wife. she was martha jeffersons half-sister. she may have even resembled jefferson's wife. in 1784, jefferson took up a post as a trade ambassador. he was trying to forge treaties with the french and other countries so the new u.s. could survive. he wanted to have his daughters with him. he wanted to have martha and mariah, his youngest daughter. he wanted and
