In her newest book, Edda L. Fields-Black – herself a descendent of one of the participants in the Combahee River Raid – shows how Harriet Tubman commanded a ring of spies, scouts, and pilots and participated in military expeditions behind Confederate lines. "Combee' is drawing praise from fellow historians, including acclaimed author Eric Foner. 'No one has dug more deeply into the 1863 Combahee River Raid than Edda Fields-Black,' wrote Duke University historian Peter H. Wood. Princeton historian Tera W. Hunter calls the book 'absolutely essential.'" 📰 - 905wesa We hope you'll join us on Thursday, March 14 to learn from local historian & author Edda L.
