Harriet Ross Tubman's Congressional Medal Of Honor Campaign

WE, the undersigned, agree that Harriet Ross Tubman, indeed, was the "Moses" of her people during her lifetime. She managed one of the most successful efforts in United States' history to undermine and destroy the institution of Slavery.

Harriet Ross Tubman provided sanctuary to those who risked their lives to make this "Illegal" journey to freedom. The Underground Railroad helped hundreds of thousands of African Slaves begin new lives after fleeing from Slavery in the South.

During her lifetime she made nineteen (19) trips, personnally liberating over three hundred (300) of her People despite a Forty Thousand Dollar ($40,000) Bounty/Reward for her capture.

A monument in Auburn, NY A History of Harriett Ross Tubman stands today in mute testimony to a woman of Indomitable Will. She truly is a "Moses" of her People. She lead her People out of the land of Egypt, out of the House of Bondage and into the land of Canaan. She never stopped seeking to make meaningful, "The Promise of Freedom".

Harriet Ross Tubman was commissioned by Governor Andrew of Massachusetts to act as a spy, scout and sometimes nurse for the Union Army. The United States Government commissioned her without any enumerations other than "twenty (20) days rations."

Harriet Ross Tubman's historical contributions have never been officially recognized. Therefore, We, the undersigned, Declare Her Merits/Bravery Worthy of The United States Congressional Medal of Honor.

[This Petition will be forwarded to the Present Standing President of the United States for Congressional sanctions.
