Synopsis

Harriet: The Underground Legend is a gripping and emotionally powerful TV series that chronicles the untold depth of Harriet Tubman’s life, transforming her from the iconic historical figure we know into a fully realized human being, whose bravery, struggles, and personal sacrifices redefined the very essence of freedom. From her harrowing escape from slavery to her courageous work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, the series paints a vivid portrait of a woman whose actions shaped the course of American history. Each season delves deeper into her incredible resilience and the inner turmoil of leading others to freedom, while also grappling with her own search for peace, purpose, and identity. While the primary focus is Tubman’s courageous work freeing enslaved people, Harriet also explores her role as a spy during the Civil War, her leadership in the fight for equality, and her untold contributions to both the abolitionist movement and women's rights. The series showcases the quiet yet fierce leadership she displayed, often risking her own life to save others, and provides an intimate look at the struggles she faced as a woman of color in a male-dominated world.

Description of Harriet Greene Ross (Rit):

Rit was born about 1785 or 1787 in Dorchester County, Maryland. Atthow Pattison enslaved Rit and her mother Modesty who lived on his 265-acre farm near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge east of the convergence of the Blackwater and Little Blackwater Rivers. Tubman believed that Modesty had arrived in the colonies on a ship from Africa. Her grandmother may have come from the area now known as Ghana on West Africa's Gold Coast. People of that area are of the Akan ethnic group. In 1791, Modesty does not appear in Pattison's will.
