You should spend $3 at Amazon, Apple, Google, or maybe even Youtube so you can see the entire Harriet Tubman speech as perform by Aisha Hinds.
UNDERGROUND'S "MINTY" episode was something to behold. It's the closest you'll get to hearing Harriet Tubman give a speech on freedom without a Ouija board.
