哈里特;图博门和地下铁路
哈里特;图博门约于1820年出生在美国南方。她是一个美国黑人，也是一个奴隶。那时在南方，美国黑人都是奴隶。人们买来奴隶，让他们在自己的家里、农场和田地里干活。他们的主人把他们像财产一样买卖。当哈里特年轻时，她就向往自由。她想逃到美国北部去。在北方人人都是自由的。
最终，哈里特借助地下铁路逃到了北方。地下铁路不是真正的铁路。这是一个秘密组织，帮助奴隶逃跑。晚上，他们把奴隶带到安全的房子里，把奴隶藏在那里。第二天晚上，他们把奴隶带到下一个房子，也就是铁路上的“站”。“地下”就是秘密的意思。这就是为什么人们把这个组织叫做地下铁路的原因。
当哈里特自由后，她决定帮助其他奴隶。她加入了地下铁路的组织。很快她成为了组织的领袖。这是一个非常危险的工作。她一次又一次地回到南方，把奴隶带到北方使他们获得自由。在哈里特1913年去世前，她共帮助了300个奴隶逃跑。她帮助他们获得自由，开始新的生活。如今美国人仍非常尊敬这位勇敢的女性。
