This Juneteenth, we explore the real human story behind the myths about Harriet Tubman, including her spirituality, her relationship with nature, and the disability she lived with while liberating so many enslaved people.
On Today's Show:
Tiya Miles, professor of history and former chair of the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University and the National Book Award–winning author of All That She Carried, talks about her new book, Night Flyer: Harriet Tubman and the Faith Dreams of a Free People (Penguin Press, 2024), that places Harriet Tubman in the context of the natural world she inhabited and her spirituality.
