1:00

Tubman is known for her fearlessness.

1:02

She was called the Moses of the Underground

1:04

Railroad. But exactly how was

1:07

she able to free hundreds of people

1:09

with so few resources? Having

1:11

grown up hunting in swamps, Tubman

1:14

held immense knowledge about hunting,

1:16

foraging, and herbalism. When

1:19

food was scarce on long journeys,

1:21

these skills made the difference between

1:23

life and death. Harriet

1:25

Tubman was responsible for finding

1:27

sustenance and medicinal remedies for

1:30

all escapees she rescued. And

1:33

because many plants were poisonous,

1:35

sometimes that task felt impossible.

1:45

Christmas was a common time to

1:48

stage escapes. Many feared

1:50

being sold on New Year's Day,

1:52

so they ran while enslavers were

1:54

distracted by holiday festivities. But

1:57

food sources were scarce in the winter.

2:00

Other times, other members of the underground railroad

2:02

would hide food sacks in the woods

2:04

on the route along the way to

2:06

the nearest safe house. Other

2:09

times, foraging acorns was the

2:11

best option. While we

2:13

might not have access to infinite

2:15

resources, like Tubman, we can

2:18

be resourceful and make the best out

2:20

of what we've got. When

2:23

we tap into ancestral knowledge,

2:25

community resources, and collective brilliance,

2:28

building a Black liberated future feels

2:30

not only possible, but

2:33

abundantly nourishing. In

2:35

order to move towards the future, we've got to

2:37

look to the past. This
