Walking the Way of Harriet Tubman

<p>Harriet Tubman freedom fighter and leader in the Underground Railroad is one of the most significant figures in U.S. history. Her courage and determination in bringing enslaved people to freedom have established her as an icon of the abolitionist movement. But behind the history of the heroine called Moses was a woman of deep faith.</p><p>In <i>Walking the Way of Harriet Tubman</i> Therese Taylor-Stinson introduces Harriet a woman born into slavery whose unwavering faith and practices in spirituality and contemplation carried her through insufferable abuse and hardship to become a leader for her people. Her profound internal liberation came from deep roots in mysticism Christianity nature spirituality and African Indigenous beliefs that empowered her own escape from enslavement--giving her the strength and purpose to lead others on the road to freedom.</p><p>Harriet's lived spirituality illuminates a profound path forward for those of us longing for internal freedom as well as justice and equity in our communities. As people of color we must cultivate our full selves for our own liberation and the liberation of our communities. As the luminous significance of Harriet Tubman's spiritual life is revealed so too is the path to our own spiritual truth advocacy and racial justice as we follow in her footsteps.</p>
