💡 Little Known Fun Fact: Harriet Tubman Edition

Though she couldn’t read or write, Harriet Tubman carried maps in her mind and coded messages in songs. Before setting out on rescue missions, she’d sing certain spirituals as secret signals — one to tell those enslaved to prepare, another to warn of danger. Her songs sounded like worship, but they were freedom in disguise.

Music was her language of liberation. Her favorite hymn, “Go Down, Moses,” became an anthem of resistance — a call for deliverance that echoed across fields and hearts alike. For Tubman, every verse was both prayer and plan.

💡 Little Known Fun Fact: Tubman reportedly used owls’ hoots as nighttime signals, blending faith, folklore, and strategy to keep her groups safe.
