Harriet Tubman's 137 Miles to Freedom is the first in a series of challenges dedicated to inspirational women from throughout history.
UNRAVEL FASCINATING HISTORY AS YOU GO

We will explore Harriet's life, from her difficult childhood to the tumultous events leading to her escape, before learning what it was that convinced her to go all the way back.
