Some will sacrifice life, fortune, success, for freedom. Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman escaped to freedom, but then returned again and again to her slave homeland to help hundreds of other fugitives escape. Her story is a tale of unimaginable bravery and courage. Her story is a beginning for teaching students about their own quest for freedom. Freedom is the choice to live where and how we want.
Freedom is the power to pursue happiness.
To study and work for the kind of job we want. To choose our friends, and the color of clothes we wear. To worship as we are led. However, freedom is also responsibility. This means voting and making changes in our society.
