Harriet Tubman was a US Army pensioner. Heck, she led ARMED raids on slavers! This was no demure American hero. This lady ROCKED!

Born into slavery in the American South, Maryland. Sorry. I can't help myself. When anyone questions my claim to have been born in the South, they laugh when I say "Maryland". And, yes, she rocked...

My father (and I) were born in Baltimore and my mother was from Alabama. When they got married in Alabama the pastor made some comment about my mom "finding herself a yankee" and my dad stopped the proceedings to correct him.

Michael Healy of the US Revenue Cutter Service, also born into slavery, had a much more influential career than Tubman.

Thank you. Hadn't heard of Capt Healy. Allow me to return the favor with another story of a great black sailor...
