Overcame a Hardship/Challenge
Harriet was a slave. She
was often beaten and
slaves weren't paid. She
was owned by someoneand she didn't have any
rights.I think it was hard for
her to be beaten for
things that she really
couldn't help doing
because she was hungry
and thirsty.

Showed Compassion and Empathy
One day Harriet came between
the master and a slave when the
master threw a metal weight at
the slave. It hit Harriet instead.I think she showed compassion
because she didn't want the
slave to get hit and would rather
be hit herself. She was brave andcould have been killed.

Took Action
Harriet Tubman escaped with
three of her brothers. They
decided to turn back. Two nights
later she went alone. "I had a
right to liberty or death," she
said after her escape.I think that she wants to be free
and have rights so even thoughher brothers decided to escape
and she escaped.

Persevered
From 1850 to 1861 Harriet
Tubman helped hundreds of
African Americans escape
slavery by going back on the
plantations 15 times to save
others slaves. She lead the
Underground Railroad.I think that she risked her lifeand she could have been
caught.

conductor on the

slavery by freeing slaves.

Demonstrated Bravery
Harriet Tubman was a spy
during the Civil War in 1863. I think she was so so brave
to be a spy because she
could have gotten caught
and killed.
