Welcome to Litsy!

Mini audiobook #bookhaul – Audible is having a 2 for 1 sale on select titles through Jan. 1.

Just watched the biopic tonight. While I think it suffered from some serious ennui in the storyboarding department and failed to refer to her by her earned title of general: it is a very important film to see.

I didn't know there was a movie till I overheard some of my fifth graders, who are doing a research project on Harriet Tubman, talking about it. I was so excited that I googled the trailer. And the actress is petite. Yes! Hollywood usually shows Ms. Tubman as a tall woman with a deep voice. I cannot wait. Has anyone seen it?

We are studying The Civil War era, and learning about Harriet Tubman. The History Chicks have an amazing podcast episode about her. I become very angry over the history I was not taught.

#BookMail ! Harriet Tubman hit my radar while I was watching Timeless the other night and a new Writer's Digest! Good day, indeed.

Fun fact: Harriet Tubman was involved in Civil War Espionage for the north #inspiration #biography

Fun fact of the day: Harriet Tubman rescued slaves during the fall and winter. Spring and summer she resided in Canada raising money for her rescue missions. #bebravelikeharriet #biography #inspiration

When I was an undergrad, a professor stood in front of the class and said "Harriet Tubman was a necrophiliac." He said this twice and no one but me seemed bothered by the idea that he said the hero of the #underground railroad had a thing for corpses. I gingerly raised my hand and said, "I think you mean narcoleptic." After being conked on the head with a shovel, Tubman suffered from bouts of narcolepsy, not necrophilia. #septembowie

We all need to know more about this amazing woman. (This is the last photograph taken of Tubman.)

"I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other."
