I’m making (modest) donations to help flood victims in #Ukraine. If you would like to do so at an organization I trust, here is the link to #WorldCentralKitchen relief effort there. https://donate.wck.org/give/398293/#!/donation/checkout
On June 2, 1863, 160 years ago today, Harriet Tubman commanded 300 Black soldiers in the audacious Raid on Combahee Ferry. With the Union Army backing her up, The General, as she was called, liberated 800 people, destroyed supplies, and struck a blow against the Confederacy. She became the FIRST woman in U.S. history to plan and execute an armed expedition, inspiring joy and freedom among over 800 enslaved people.
