Decisive Action: Echo of Harriet Tubman (Part 7/12)

Seven hundred and fifty-six souls press toward three gunboats on the Combahee River, and Harriet Tubman, the woman who mapped every hidden torpedo in the dark water, realizes that freedom is arriving faster than any plan can hold.

When the careful logistics of liberation shatter under the weight of hundreds more people than planned, Tubman discovers that the same skills she built over a lifetime, listening, trust-building, the quiet her mother sang into her, can hold even when plans cannot. She raises a freedom song, and chaos becomes congregation.

1863. Harriet Tubman is 41. Combahee River, South Carolina.
