In the film, Harriet, Cynthia will portray, Harriet Tubman, an American abolitionist, and political activist. Harriet was born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland. She escaped herself and went on to make about thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved people, family, and friends. She used the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad in helping them escape.

Harriet later helped abolitionist John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry and during the American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the United States Army.

In her later years, she was an activist in the struggle for women’s suffrage.

Early in her life, Harriet had suffered a traumatic head wound when an irate slave owner threw a heavy metal weight intending to hit another slave but hit her instead. This injury caused dizziness, pain, and spells of hypersomnia, which occurred throughout her life.

Harriet was a devout Christian and experienced strange visions and vivid dreams, which she ascribed to premonitions from God.

Harriet died of pneumonia in 1913, surrounded by family and friends, and just before she died, she told those in the room: “I go to prepare a place for you.” Tubman was buried at Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn, with semi-military honors.
