Og just loves today’s new programming, Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero”, presented by historian and author Kate Clifford Larson, Ph.D. at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. Most of us have some elementary understanding of who Harriet Tubman was and why she is famous – almost everyone will immediately pipe up with, “Underground Railroad!” -- but this lecture provides much more about her personal history. This background information, combined with details of her life culled from libraries, archives and diaries, helps us understand the events that coalesced to make her who she was – an independent, strong, dynamic hero.

Og,
I watch the Harriet Tubman video and agree that it's a fascinating 28 minutes and 33 seconds. The author is a very good speaker, and I was able to sit through the whole thing while fighting off my kids who were trying to get on the computer to play games. They eventually gave up and watched part of it with me. Thanks for producing such great content!
