The General & The Quaker

Reflect on the profound and loving friendship between Harriett Tubman, “General” of the Underground Railroad, and her little-known and closest collaborator, a Quaker merchant named Thomas Garrett. Tubman’s extraordinary bravery and wisdom merged with Garrett’s selfless nature and loving regard for humanity to assist over 2,000 souls to be emancipated from the brutality of slavery.
