Most Americans know of Harriet Tubman’s legendary life. 

Yet the many biographies, children’s books, and films about Tubman omit a crucial chapter: during the Civil War, hired by the Union Army, she ventured into the heart of slave territory – Beaufort, South Carolina – to live, work, and gather intelligence for a daring raid up the Combahee River to attack the major plantations of Rice Country, the breadbasket of the Confederacy.

In “Combee,” Edda L. Fields-Black – herself a descendent of one of the participants in the raid – shows how Tubman commanded a ring of spies, scouts, and pilots and participated in military expeditions behind Confederate lines.

Join us on March 14 to learn from historian & author Edda L. Fields-Black ➡️ pghartslectures
