What does American literature reveal about how a society imagines justice, belonging, and the power of women?

Her fellowship project, Tituba Indian: The History of an American Cultural Figure follows Tituba Indian from the historical record of 1692 through two centuries of novels, plays, and reimaginings to ask what her story has been made to carry and why.In This EpisodeHow the Salem witch trials became one of the most reimagined episodes in American literary historyWhy Tituba Indian sits at the center of debates about race, gender, and civic belonging across two centuries of American cultureHow culture reuses the pastHow Ann Petry's Tituba of Salem Village broke from literary tradition decades before most readers noticedWhy Arthur Miller's The Crucible remains complicated and how teachers are beginning to challenge it in the classroomThe real significance of the witch as a figure in literature, from colonial revival to contemporary young adult fictionWhere to find the vast archive of Salem witch trial literature that predates copyright, freely available onlineAbout Samaine Lockwood Samaine Lockwood is an Associate Professor of English at George Mason University, specializing in 19th century American literature and gender and sexuality studies.

Jeune esclave du Maryland, Harriet Tubman s'enfuit pour rejoindre l'état abolitionniste de Pennsylvanie avant la guerre de Sécession. Elle emprunte un réseau d'évasion, l'Underground Railroad, dont elle deviendra une figure.Alors qu'elle n'est qu'une enfant, Harriett Tubman, surnommée Mint, subit les mauvais traitements de sa maîtresse dans une plantation du Maryland. Battue et maltraitée depuis son plus jeune âge, elle rêve de liberté et saisit sa chance lorsque la plantation est sur le point d'être vendue. À 22 ans, elle s'échappe et rejoint l'Underground Railroad, un réseau clandestin qui aide les esclaves à fuir vers le Nord abolitionniste et le Canada.Mais Harriet, comme elle se fait désormais appeler, ne s'arrête pas là. Courageuse et déterminée, elle retourne à de multiples reprises dans le Sud esclavagiste pour libérer sa famille et d'autres esclaves, bravant les dangers et la prime mise sur sa tête. Surnommée "Moïse" par les milieux abolitionnistes, elle mène avec succès jusqu'à 19 expéditions, libérant près de 70 personnes.Pendant la Guerre de Sécession, elle met ses compétences au service de l'armée de l'Union. Devenue espionne et guide, elle participe à des raids qui permettent de libérer des centaines d'esclaves.
Harriet Tubman raconte une évasion massive d'esclaves pendant la guerre de Sécession.

What do you do when the people controlling your access to God are using Him against you? For Harriet Tubman, God's answer was simple — He went around them. In this final Black History Month episode, we sit with one of the most remarkable dreamers in American history, not just to honor her legacy, but to learn from the way God spoke to her directly, in the night, through visions and dreams, when every official door had been shut.We walk through the progression of Harriet's actual dreams — from the chase dreams her soul was processing under the weight of bondage, to the recurring vision of a line she couldn't cross, to the dream that changed everything: the one where she finally flew. We talk about what it means spiritually to be above a thing in a dream, what God was doing through the injury the enemy meant for destruction, and how Psalm 126:1 — we were like those who dream — was literally Harriet's life before it was our theme.This episode is for anyone who can see the promise but keeps falling short of the line. The arms are already stretched out. Keep dreaming.
Harriet Tubman (c. 1822–1913) was a courageous American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Civil War spy who escaped slavery to become the most renowned "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. She guided approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, to freedom in the North. This is what I picked up surrounding her energies + spirit box session

Exposing Black History Myths by John Doyle. Black Inventions, Thomas Jefferson's Black Children, Harriet Tubman, Tuskegee Airmen, Redlining etc… The “Tuskegee Airmen” is just a myth btw “Redlining” literally wasn't a real thing btw “Black Wall Street” was not real and the “Tulsa Race Massacre” didn't happen btw They like John Brown because they want to be able to kill your family for “anti-racism” and “trans rights” btw Top 10 things black people claim they invented but actually didn't btw The “Harriet Tubman” legend is literally a myth invented by like 2 Communist writers btw Black nationalists thought that Liberia was going to be Wakanda and then showed up there only to find slavery and then get deported for being mad about it btw Thomas Jefferson didn't actually have a kid with his slave btw Europeans didn't have to go capture Africans in the jungle like on TV because they were already being sold by other Africans for like a thousand years btw Black people were enslaving other black people on American soil before George Washington was even born btw The “Rosa Parks” story is literally not even approximately true btw John Doyle https://x.com/JohnDoyle @JohnDoyle· John Doyle @JohnDoyle Patriot @theblaze USA YouTube.com/JohnDoyle 124.3K Followers
I can say, without exaggeration, this is one of the most extraordinary stories that I’ve ever heard. and maybe one of the most important, so my guest today is Max Smith. He’s a historian, a storyteller, and a lifelong steward of the history of Peterborough New York. So this is a tiny village in Madison County that most people have never heard of, but that quietly shaped the course of American history. So what you’re about to hear. Is the story of how the abolitionist movement functioned in many ways, like an early startup, so a small group of people that had an idea that was considered radical, dangerous, and disruptive, and the epicenters of that abolitionist movement. it wasn’t Boston or Washington. it was right here in upstate New York. The story starts with the drunken mob shutting down an abolitionist meeting in Utica and how that meeting was reborn the next day in Peterborough. And hundreds of people walked miles overnight to continue that work, and those choices sent ripples across the country that still shape our politics today. Now Max walks us through the life of Gerrit Smith, whom I’m sure you’ve probably never heard of. I’ve never heard of him, but he was one of the wealthiest men in America in the 18 hundreds. And after this event, he started giving away his fortune to fund abolition, women’s suffrage and civil rights. He was hosting Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and formerly enslaved people at his own dinner table, and his mansion in Peterborough became one of the stops on the Underground Railroad. This is also a deeply personal story for Max. It’s one that connects his own family lineage directly to the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, and the long arc of freedom in this country. So if you care about how change actually happens and how movements are built, how courage, community, and conviction scale over time. This is a conversation you are not going to forget. It’s not a startup story in the way we usually tell them, but it might be one of the most powerful ones we’ve ever shared.

In Ep. 84 we talk with historian Anthony Cohen about the Underground Railroad and its legendary conductor Harriet Tubman as seen in the 2019 film HARRIET. Anthony Cohen personally retraced the journey of the Underground Railroad and self-emancipation by foot, rail, and boat from Maryland to Canada in 1996. His walk got the attention of Oprah Winfrey who asked him to prepare her for her role in the 1998 film BELOVED based on the Toni Morrison novel.The 2019 film HARRIET traces the escape from slavery to freedom of Minty Ross, and her transformation into the iconic American freedom fighter Harriet Tubman. Haunted by memories of those she left behind, Harriet Tubman ( Cynthia Erivo) ventures back into dangerous territory on a mission to lead others to freedom. With allies like abolitionist William Still (Leslie Odom, Jr.) and the entrepreneurial Marie Buchanon (Janelle Monae), Harriet Tubman risks capture and death to guide hundreds to safety as one of the most prominent conductors of the Underground Railroad. -------TIMESTAMPS0:02 - Podcast Open1:49 - History of the Underground Railroad3:59 - Overview HARRIET film5:00 - Anthony Cohen's 1996 Underground Railroad Journey16:25 - Underground Railroad: Networks, Risks, and Dangers27:56 - Preparation for Historical Immersive Experiences 32:26 - Preparing Oprah Winfrey for BELOVED film42:50 - The Menare Foundation Mission and Activities46:22 - Five Steps for Understanding Freedom Seekers46:49 Anthony Cohen's 2026 Walk to Canada1:02:25 - Engaging with History and Call to Action------Revolution to Rights: America at 250 " series.

Vermon Pierre | Harriet Tubman | Exodus, James 2:14-26 | February 8, 2026
The Ringmaster reflects on a speech given by the great UK Prime minister Margarat Thacher in which she warned against dealing with liberals. In modern times, republicans have gone against her advice, and we found ourselves in woke culture, which led us to what it. What if it was the opposite, and we remade historical black movies with white actors? Like a white Harriet Tubman, hmmm.

Daniel Harmon is the creator and showrunner of Tuttle Twins TV Show, an award-winning cartoon that teaches kids about principles of freedom and economics. Tuttle Twins is based on the book series that has sold over 5 million copies. In 2020, Tuttle Twins set a record as the #1 crowdfunded kids show in the world! Daniel is a creative entrepreneur and co-founded Harmon Brothers, a renowned video advertising agency that has driven billions of views and over $700 million in sales. Daniel is also a co-founder of VidAngel and Angel Studios. To learn more about Tuttle Twins, go to angel.com/tuttletwins or you can download the Angel app and watch the first few seasons for free! Additional notes from the show: Daniel and Lauren discussed a children's show concept featuring a grandmother with a time-traveling wheelchair who takes her grandchildren back in time to learn lessons from historical figures like Benjamin Franklin and Harriet Tubman. They agreed that the show would need to be entertaining enough to compete with platforms like Netflix and Disney+ while incorporating educational principles that are not currently being taught in public schools. Daniel emphasized that the show's goal is to provide parents with a resource to pass on their values to their children, comparing it to the original Spider-Man's theme of "with great power comes great responsibility." Engaging Children and Parents Through Storytelling Daniel discussed the educational approach of his show, emphasizing its appeal to both children and parents through humor and storytelling. He highlighted the show's focus on critical thinking and its success in engaging parents, with over 80% of episodes watched by parents alongside their children. Daniel also explained the role of the Angel Guild, a group of paying members who act as gatekeepers for new content, ensuring that only episodes deemed to "amplify light" are released. Lauren learned that the first three seasons are available for free on the Angel app, while the fourth season requires Angel Guild membership to access. Crowdfunding and Content Development Challenges Daniel explained the history of crowdfunding for media content, highlighting successful campaigns for TV shows like The Chosen and Tuttle Twins. He noted that BitAngel, a filtering company, eventually merged with the original content development company to avoid potential conflicts between their business models. The discussion touched on the challenges of managing both filtering and original content development under one company. Clean Content Demand and Split Daniel explained that VidAngel was split into two separate companies, with the original content side becoming Angel, where his show now lives. He noted that there is a high demand for clean content, with approximately half of the United States wanting parental controls in the early days of Angel. Lauren observed that this situation illustrated Romans 8:28, highlighting how God can bring beauty from difficult circumstances, and asked Daniel about the demand for clean content compared to what Hollywood produces, to which Daniel confirmed the demand is high, particularly among values-based audiences. Uplifting Content for Universal Appeal Daniel discussed Angel's mission to create content that amplifies light and uplifts audiences, emphasizing stories with good morals, ethics, and values, similar to Disney's historical approach. He highlighted that such content appeals to a broad audience beyond religious or Christian viewers.

We also dive into her marriages, her private life, her service during the Civil War, and why she never had biological children. Her story highlights how legacy can be built through courage, community care, and purpose. Harriet Tubman didn't raise children — she helped raise a nation toward freedom.Support the showEmail: claimingzeropodcast@gmail.comIG/FB: @claimingzero

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, TUBMAN, AND DIVERGENT ABOLITIONIST PATHS Colleague Alan Taylor. Taylor discusses the Underground Railroad's informal network and Harriet Tubman's repeated risks to rescue enslaved people. He contrasts Frederick Douglass's integrationist, political approach with Martin Delany's black nationalist separatism. Additionally, he notes how Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin successfully generated white empathy for the enslaved. NUMBER 1
Borrowing from the traditional alphabet book genre for children, An Alphabet for Dreamers: How to See the World with Eyes Closed (MIT Press, 2025) by Dr. Sharon Sliwinski provides adult readers with a new grammar for dreams, or what neuroscientist Sidarta Ribeiro calls “oracles of the night.” In this book, Dr. Sliwinski restores dreaming to its proper place as an important worldmaking activity, one that offers a gateway to another way of seeing. Each of the short chapters engages a dream from the historical record—from both the recent and distant past—to show how these experiences can help make sense of profound social conflicts and transform our shared reality.Thinking alongside the dreams of powerful exemplars—from Harriet Tubman to contemporary Indigenous activist Abigail Echo-Hawk—readers come to understand how dream life is a crucial resource for generating new worlds and new ways of being. The book brings together urgent concerns from the domains of critical theory, visual culture, and mental health to show how dreaming serves as a vital source of knowledge and a critical mode of thinking.As with traditional alphabet books, illustrations provide an integral voice. Each chapter of the book is accompanied by an original watercolor painting by Melinda Josie that visually underscores the way dreams serve as a unique medium for processing our lived experience. Together, the images and text form a delicate dialogue, drawing attention to the details of the central scenes, extending the book's special mode of thinking in painted form.By working alongside dreamers from the past and present, An Alphabet for Dreamers begins a new and much-needed conversation about the social and political importance of dream life. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Each of the short chapters engages a dream from the historical record—from both the recent and distant past—to show how these experiences can help make sense of profound social conflicts and transform our shared reality.Thinking alongside the dreams of powerful exemplars—from Harriet Tubman to contemporary Indigenous activist Abigail Echo-Hawk—readers come to understand how dream life is a crucial resource for generating new worlds and new ways of being. The book brings together urgent concerns from the domains of critical theory, visual culture, and mental health to show how dreaming serves as a vital source of knowledge and a critical mode of thinking.As with traditional alphabet books, illustrations provide an integral voice. Each chapter of the book is accompanied by an original watercolor painting by Melinda Josie that visually underscores the way dreams serve as a unique medium for processing our lived experience. Together, the images and text form a delicate dialogue, drawing attention to the details of the central scenes, extending the book's special mode of thinking in painted form.By working alongside dreamers from the past and present, An Alphabet for Dreamers begins a new and much-needed conversation about the social and political importance of dream life. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The father and mother of our country is Harriet Tubman. The teacher of our country is Edward Said and his neighbor Frida Kahlo and her neighbor James Baldwin. The father and mother of our country is the Earth and they were deported by agents of the monoculture, helplessly misguided men in masks who tear us apart. The father and mother of our country immediately begin healing the children ziptied in the hallways…. the ancestors rush in to guard us against plastic pixel nightmares. We remember that the Earth is our government, our culture, our economy…. Suddenly, we know power. Image is of Savitri D, of News from the Natural World, after howling at fossil bankers

Bassist Melvin Gibbs has played on many seminal records you’re very familiar with, and likely many you aren’t, almost 200 in total. Some of his better-known work includes playing with drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson, guitarist Sonny Sharrock, as well as Rollins Band, and Arto Lindsay. Although having played in stylistically varied projects, there is one constant among all them, which is Gibbs’ palpable presence, as he’s not a typical “session” player or one to recede into the background. Regardless of the project, his passion, precision, and distinctive, extremely musical playing stand out. Gibbs will appear as part of the Electrical Field of Love project featuring his group Harriet Tubman & Georgia Anne Muldrow at the 2026 Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN. On this episode, he talks about how songs by Undine Smith Moore, Les Tambours de Brazza, and 67 guided his musical course.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this powerful episode, we explore the incredible lessons we can learn from the life of Harriet Tubman, her journey to freedom, her courage, intuitive decision-making, and the importance of purpose-driven living. Imagine standing in complete darkness, unsure of your next step. This was the reality for Tubman as she made her first escape from slavery. Guided only by her instinct and faith, she took the leap into the unknown, demonstrating that self-determination begins not with knowing the entire path, but with deciding to take that first step. Tubman risked her own freedom time and again to help others escape, driven by a profound sense of purpose. Her actions remind us that when our 'why' is strong enough, we can turn fear into fuel, moving steadily even when the ground feels uncertain. By starting with small, low-risk decisions, we can build our intuitive trust and learn to navigate our own paths with confidence. As we reflect on Tubman's legacy, I encourage you to ask yourself where you might be waiting for permission to act. With the right mindset and a willingness to step into the unknown, we can all embrace our inner strength and pursue lives filled with purpose and passion.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THE EPISODE Clarity comes not from having all the answers, but from taking action. The importance of trusting our intuition listening to the inner voice guided me through situations. Unwavering faith and self-determination can inspire us to trust our own instincts and take brave actions toward a fulfilling life.

Are you free… or just comfortable?This message asks a hard question: what are you doing with your freedom? Jesse brings the story of Harriet Tubman, the Apostle Paul, and modern-day faith into one sharp point—freedom isn't just for us. It's meant to be passed on. Through real-life examples, tough truths, and raw honesty, we're reminded that true freedom in Christ isn't found in playing it safe. It's found in service, generosity, and compassion—living on mission, not in comfort. Because when we forget the mission, we feed the flesh—and the enemy is always watching.Freedom in Jesus isn't just about being saved—it's a call to get in the trenches and help free others. Jesse unpacks Galatians 5 to show us what free people do: they serve, they give, and they love. He challenges us to open our hands, break our chains, and stop consuming faith like entertainment. Because if Jesus set us free, then we've got a responsibility to go back and help someone else get free too.
Are we really free, or just too comfortable to notice we're not? What if the life you think is “free” is actually just comfortable and unchallenged? In this episode of the Be Free podcast, Jesse, Karl, and Paul unpack what real spiritual freedom looks like, and how often we confuse it with ease. Through stories about a runaway gecko, quiet moments of boredom, and the example of Harriet Tubman, the conversation gets real about purpose, responsibility, and why so many of us feel stuck, even when life looks good from the outside.Jesse explains how stepping outside of God's design can feel like freedom at first… but over time, it leaves us empty. The guys reflect on how boredom, disconnection, and comfort slowly shape our faith and how compassion, purpose, and a clear calling can bring it back to life. Whether you're leading a family, working a job that feels ordinary, or wondering how politics and faith fit together, this is for you.
This Columbus Day—more aptly, Indigenous Peoples' Day—we're talking about the mounting efforts to rewrite American history in real time.From pushing pro-slavery cartoons into classrooms, to pressuring the Smithsonian polish up and whitewash the past, to scrubbing Harriet Tubman and Jackie Robinson from federal websites.....There's a lot to unpack.Click here to catch up on all the new members-only episodes, which are released weekly.
Be Unmessablewith: The Podcast hosted by Josselyne Herman-Saccio
In this amazing episode on the Be Unmessablewith podcast, I sit down with David Crownson, who went from a Comic Book Dream to a Disney Deal.What do you do when your vision feels impossible, your bank account is empty, and your dream is literally sitting in the rain, soaked, damaged, and ready to break you?Most people quit. David Crownson didn't.Back in 2016, David had an idea so wild it sounded like a mash-up of history class and Netflix: What if Harriet Tubman was also a demon slayer? Armed with martial arts, supernatural strength, and the courage of her true story, she battles vampires, werewolves, and the forces of darkness to lead her people to freedom.That spark of a vision became the comic book Harriet Tubman: Demon Slayer. And today? It is on its way to being a TV show with Disney.But it was not an overnight “success story.” It was years of rejection, shipping disasters (think 600 soggy comic books returned from the post office), car rides fueled only by gas money and hope, and moments where walking away seemed like the only sane option.Here's what you'll hear in this episode: The “gas money” breakdown that turned into a breakthrough (and a sellout at Kevin Smith's comic shop) How David's biggest mistake ruined comics and angry backers, became the moment that built trust with his audienceThe leadership shift that changes everything: why true leaders don't talk down or up to others, but create the space of excellence shoulder to shoulder How a homemade teaser shot in a friend's barn during the pandemic opened the door to DisneyWhy you don't need millions of people to say yes, you just need the right oneWhat I love about David's story is how clearly it shows the shift from reaction to creation. When he was in survival mode, just hustling for gas money, life looked heavy and hopeless. But when he stood in the possibility of excellence, everything changed. Magic showed up. Doors opened. The impossible became real.That is what being Unmessablewith looks like. It is not about being tough. It is about staying true to your vision when everything around you is screaming, “give up.”If you are an artist, entrepreneur, or anyone chasing a dream that feels too big, David's story will remind you: -Do not give up on yourself.- Do not mistake the clouds for the sky.- And remember, before the breakthrough, it almost always feels heaviest.Stay connected to your vision. Keep going through the clouds. The blue sky, and maybe even Disney, are waiting on the other side.
As Trump declares a highly illegal “war on drug cartels” to distract from the Epstein Files, let's turn instead to a much-needed source of inspiration: Harriet Tubman. Described by her first biographer and friend Sarah Hopkins Bradford as “clairvoyant,” Tubman offers timeless lessons in resilience, strategy, and hope under brutal oppression. If you're looking for concrete ways to resist life under a chaos-weapon Russian asset, this week's bonus episode of Gaslit Nation is for you! We share an excerpt from our Book Club discussion of Harriet, the Moses of Her People by Bradford, a children's author who helped preserve Tubman's legacy. We also examine the asymmetrical warfare waged by today's nihilists–and no, we don't mean the ones in Congress–but the “lone shooters” who are actually working together to stage “performance shootings” for one another for a growing outlet for their despair and rage. Trump's government shutdown certainly doesn't help. Look for the full recording of this week's salon and Read & Resist book club discussion on Monday morning, along with the Zoom link for Monday's salon at 4pm ET. Our salons are a place to sharpen strategy, share solidarity, and to remember that you're not losing your mind: things really are that bad. And because despair is what the nihilists want, we're throwing a Gaslit Nation Halloween Party with Sister District. Costumes optional, democracy mandatory. We'll be fighting for must-win Virginia races, and yes, you should RSVP. Because if Harriet Tubman can face down the unimaginable, you can probably survive a Zoom party.

One Battle After Another isn't just a film: it's a manifesto. Paul Thomas Anderson's cinematic masterpiece–a three hour long adventure that flies by thanks to dark humor and insane action set pieces–reimagines Harriet Tubman's legacy in a near future, turning Trump's “bad hombre” slur into a rallying cry. It dives into the raw debates: violence versus resistance, the power of holding space inside broken systems to shield and change them. Make time in your busy schedule to see it at the theater–don't wait for streaming. This film is a cultural event that celebrates America's long tradition of hard-fought antifascism, otherwise known as antifa. You're a bad hambre is the new May the Force Be With You.

Harriet Tubman is an icon for freedom. She first fled slavery with two brothers on September 17, 1849. By the following year, she was returning to save others. She traveled by night, from safe house to safe house, supported by a network of abolitionists known as the Underground Railroad. Walking north to Pennsylvania—a free state. She would make 13 trips back and forth throughout the 1850s and early 1860s. She rescued roughly 70 people from enslavement.
