Harriet Tubman
I've heard 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' read, and I tell you Mrs. Stowe's pen hasn't begun to paint what slavery is as I have seen it at the far South. I've seen de real thing, and I don't want to see it on no stage or in no theater.

Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot...Two heads...There are a terrible lot of lies...At school I pretended I had a normal life...Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child...Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know...
