tubman day, march 10.'ve been to saint catherine's canada where she shepherded her fugitives to safety to avoid slave catchers in the north. i've been to the renovated i have been to the renovated country store in maryland, near where she received her life-threatening injury. i have sailed on the waters by cambridge, maryland, where tubman wrote as a child. i have been to boston where she spoke to, quote, "colored conventions" on behalf of freedom. on my travels i have bought , tubman mugs, stamps, even a comic book. but you need not leave home to receive treasures. search on the internet and the popular ebay. it will yield you a grab bag of tubman memorabilia. ceramic figures posters, and , especially dolls. dolls to the tubman american heritage doll all have one thing in common. their lack of resemblance to tubman. i was taken aback when a senior scholar endorsed my idea that he's adjusted i needed to remind people that harriet's first language was dutch. he was mixing her up with sojourner truth. when i

tubman was a quilter. we have quilts on her bed and her own house, as well as the harriet tubman home. the thought that quilts were symbols that african-americans used for safe houses has not been substantiated. i think we have done a lot of scholarship to dispel that particular myth. at the same time, as one of the few women we can name, study, and find so much information on, we have technology that the quilt may have played an important role in her escape. she may have used it as payment in order to obtain food and hiding in the initial stages of her escape. this is all information that we put together. ught a harrieto tubman underground railroad set. you can buy on the internet. accruals,a family, the cabin, and a bloodhound. the gunt is like problem. really? 20cluded in the toys that? -- set? the dog that would be tracking her during that period. becoming ayourself obama to besident on the currency? and, in black king of england on the pound? ms. clinton: no, sir, i'm not obama on thearack money. ther
