Harriet Tubman's legendary life is widely known: escaping enslavement, leading others to freedom via the Underground Railroad, and tirelessly fighting for change. But a crucial chapter often overlooked is her daring Civil War service as a spy for the US Army, detailed in Dr. Edda L. Fields-Black's groundbreaking book, COMBEE: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom during the Civil War.
All are invited to the National Arts and Humanities Month Celebration and Luncheon with Dr. Edda L. Fields-Black at the Cleveland History Center. She will provide a "By the Book" Keynote Presentation immediately following lunch. Copies of her book will be available for signing and purchase.
