Harriet Quotes
Courage, memory and the name that carries history.
These quotes gather around the name Harriet in different lights — a lake in Minnesota that still feels like home, and the towering courage of Harriet Tubman, who returned to slavery's grounds thirteen times to lead others to freedom. It ties naturally into History quotes.
