Happy Harriet Tubman Day! March 10

I'm a bad mother***
and I don't mind dying...
Pure dynamite!
My people, hold on.
Through the thunder and lightning
My people, hold on
Ooh, the weather gets rough now
My people, hold on
Ooh you got to hang on now girl
My people, hold on
When it gets real rough, rocky and windy
My people, hold on
Hold on
My people, hold on

It’s Harriet Tubman Day! Congress designated today, March 10th which is the day our foremother died in 1915, as a commemorative holiday. (Should we start a petition to make it a federal holiday? Like Veterans’ Day?...to honor the sacrifices and labor of Black women? I ain’t playing. Think about it. Let's start by supporting this petition to accelerate the printing of Harriet Tubman’s portrait on the $20 bill!).
