The 2024 Harriet Tubman coins are part of several commemorative coins released by the United States Mint to honor the life and legacy of abolitionists who never gave up and never gave in on the quest for freedom for all. She was born as Araminta Ross in March of 1822 and raised in Dorchester County, Maryland, on a plantation. In her early teens, she sustained an accidental head injury, which gave her many troubles throughout her life. She married a man by the name of John Tubman in 1844. She sought freedom and attempted to convince her husband to join her quest to the Northern states, which had abolished slavery decades earlier. He declined to join Harriet. On September 17, 1849, Harriet and her two brothers escaped from a plantation beginning their journey to freedom. The Underground Railroad, where those escaping slavery could sleep and rest on their journeys north was a vital element in the quest for freedom.. From one safehouse to another, Tubman and a group of abolitionists guided those who sought their freedom in the United States, though many sought refuge in Canada. She continued risking her life as she crossed over into the South 13 times until the Civil War, which was sparked in 1861 between the North and the South over the issue of slavery.
