Original Resolution Honoring Harriet Tubman

This resolution would have the U.S. House of Representatives formally honor Harriet Tubman. It recounts that she was born enslaved, escaped through the Underground Railroad, and later led 13 missions that rescued about 70 enslaved people. It also notes her work as a scout, spy, and nurse for the Union Army, her role in the Combahee River Raid that freed 700 enslaved people, and her later work for human rights and women's suffrage. The resolution states recognition only and does not create new laws or spending.
