Harriet Tubman quote controversy: I freed a thousand slaves…

Harriet Tubman quote’s controversy: “I freed a thousand slaves, i could have freed a thousand more if only they knew that they were slave”

Regardless of whether Harriet Tubman personally articulated the exact same words or whether she’s only recorded to have claimed freeing only 70 slaves or whether more than a thousand slaves were saved by her activism, this does not in anyway refute the relevance of black people still being oppressed to this day, some in physical bondage and most in mental bondage(unconsciously), and honesty Tubman’s quote is often not used to mock the slaves but instead to remind black people to be conscious and to question the lies we continue being fed because the minute we fall back, the minute we get comfortable or forget; worst than what happened will most certainly happen again if not happening already…so this whole article is simply another systematic way to use emotions to convince black people that this time is different from Harriet Tubman’s time and to fudge on the issue at hand. We are at war family, slavery is still real.
