“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” These words spoken by Ms. Tubman must have encouraged the authors to continually move forward to complete their dreams of sharing the story of their family with the world. I know the authors personally and I’m sure this was not an easy adventure for them; although ultimately rewarding, there were times of great pain and sacrifice for them and their family as they learned more of their heritage, as well as the price Harriet Tubman paid for her freedom and the freedom of many others. Aunt Harriet’s story belongs to all of us whose life or history was ever touched by slavery.”

“I know the accomplishments of Harriet Tubman. When I see her picture, I see strength, I see determination and I see grit. But I keep looking to see unnamed other aspects of her. I want to know more about her as a person, an individual. What this book means to me is the opportunity to have the blanks filled in, to see her as a member of a family, a woman with friends, relatives, what they knew and what they thought of her. I want a more complete picture. Like the heroine, in the book Beyond the Underground. Aunt Harriet, Moses of Her People, two other heroines took a journey. Similar in nature, Joyce and Michele embarked upon a tireless journey to research, discover, record and collect their family history, as it relates to their ancestor, Harriet Tubman. I join in to thank all who made the efforts of Harriet, Joyce and Michele become a book to share with the public.”
