Rita Daniels, descendant of Harriet Tubman, learned about her connection to Tubman through a school assignment at age nine. Initially unaware of her family's history, she became motivated to research and uncover the truth about Tubman's life. With her new book "Harriet Tubman: Military Scout and Tenacious Visionary," co-authored with Jean Marie Wiesen, Daniels seeks to rectify misconceptions surrounding Tubman's legacy. The book aims to provide a more accurate portrayal of Tubman, emphasizing her achievements over the inaccurate narratives perpetuated by previous works.
Daniels wants her book to spread awareness of Tubman's truthful legacy, correcting misconceptions propagated by past narratives that misrepresent her character and achievements.
She recalls her mother's discovery of their link to Tubman, which provided a more accurate view of Tubman's life, beyond the misconceptions typically taught in schools.
