Everybody should have the same equal rights because everybody is human and everybody should be treated the same. Harriet Tubman and Mother Jones thought this too, but they had something to do with the changes. Harriet Tubman thought that just because people were black they should have the same rights as white people, and she made sure that everybody else thought so too. Mother Jones on the other hand made sure that children went to school, instead of working in mills/factories. Harriet Tubman and Mother Jones were two influential figures who fought for fairness, inspired social change and championed human rights. “Mother Jones wanted the president of the united states to get Congress to pass a law that would take children out out of the mills,
Everyone has the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Every man has these rights but unfortunately slaves and women do not. Women do not receive the same rights as men do. They get paid less and don't get hired as often as men do. Slaves do not get any rights to do anything and get punished for their actions. Women at least have some rights as men do but Slaves however, Man or Women, are not given any rights at all. I believe that all women and slaves should be given the same rights as men and everyone should be equal. Today's society is still not perfect but is still better than what it used to
Imagine people giving up and not trying hard because they are too lazy or think it’s too hard. If everyone gave up when they got tired of it then we wouldn’t have a lot of things that we have today. There are many themes in “John Henry” and Harriet Tubman: Guide to freedom, but the most prevalent theme is never give up. In “John Henry” he has to beat a machine to see who has more power man or machines. In “Harriet Tubman: Guide to Freedom” she leads eleven slaves to Canada. If you ask me eleven slaves is a lot of people or if you think you can beat a big machine that puts railroad spikes in, think again.
Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs narratives are both very similar and yet are very different as they give different points of reference from the hardships African Americans faced during the slave era. Both of Douglass and Jacobs emphasize the need to keep family together and how far someone they knew would go to attain freedom or buy back freedom and how it really never happened. It was emphasized by slave owners to separate families at young ages which is known to be cruel and serves a purpose in the maturation of a slave. Although they both agree that slavery dehumanized slaves and depict gory images, these narratives come from two different perspectives; Jacobs-a female slave who had a happy sheltered child hood which lead to sexual and mental abuse, and Frederick- a male who knowledge was with held from and who was tainted with gory mental images at a very young age of slaves being beat right before him.
Odysseus is considered a hero in his own one sided story whilst Harriet Tubman is considered a hero by all. Although Harriet Tubman did not experience the traditional type of the twelve stages of a hero's journey, that does not make her any less of a hero than Odysseus seems to be. In fact whilst following the guide of the twelve stages to a hero's journey, Harriet Tubman can be viewed as a “better” hero parse, than Odysseus. Although in most cases to be viewed as a hero you must be a superhero, killer, god, or something of the sorts, Harriet can be viewed as a hero despite being an “ordinary” African-American woman in the racist 1800’s. However this does not mean that her story follows the 12 stages
How can a person make a big difference in human rights? Well, Harriet Tubman, Mother Jones, and Melba Pattillo Beals are all examples of people who fought and made a big impact for all human rights. While Harriet Tubman and Melba Pattillo Beals stood up for African American Rights, Mother Jones fought for child labor laws, and all these individuals were determined to take action for their cause. These special people helped to enact change by standing up for rights they believe in, and fighting for equality due to racial discrimination or child labor.
Harriet Tubman was a great person who leads slaves to freedom! She was a conductor. For example, she saved people that were slaves (over 200 people). She was also a brave person and a strong one too because she had gone around to many people to save them from being a slave. I bet you can’t do that, can you.
“Harriet Tubman” and “The People Could Fly” are similar in many ways, but also differ. For example, these folktales both go on the topic of slavery and the way they were treated, although only one is non-fictional while the other is. Another reason they are related is because they both have at least one main character escaping for freedom. They do lack resemblance in this because in “Harriet Tubman”, she escapes by using the underground railroad. In “The People Could Fly”, Sarah escapes by using magic and by “flying” away.

A women’s life in the south during the war was not easy. Women had no rights. Their husbands had to go away and most likely their children. Harriet Tubman is a great example of women trying to make a difference. She was one of the first women brave enough to stand against slavery.
Harriet Tubman is well known for a successful role in freeing many slaves through the Underground Railroad. Not many know the major effect she had on the Union Army as a Scout and a spy during the Civil War. Her bravery while helping slaves escape through the Underground Railroad and her assistance in gathering Confederate troops intelligence as a spy changed the history and made a great impact on the on the United States National Defense.

Many people throughout history have had an impact on America today. During the civil rights era, a long list of people took part in actions that shaped America 's ideas of slavery and racism.

Harriet Tubman was a poor slave girl who ran away from her plantation at the age of 28. Throughout the course of her life many people and many things challenged her. Each situation she was faced with tested either her mental or physical strength, usually both. She persevered through all of her trials stronger and wiser, and was willing to always help others through their own. Not one to instigate unless extremely necessary, Harriet was known for her quick thinking and her reactions to each ordeal she was faced with. She responded to them with a sharp mind, and strong faith in deliverance through the Lord.
Because she was an abolitionist, had other jobs doing good things, and nothing stopping her from doing anything, Harriet Tubman sets a heroic example. Harriet wasn’t necessitated to free slaves or work for the Union Army, she decided to do that on her own. Harriet always had a job to do and every job she had basically helped someone else in some kind of way. In 2016, The U.S Treasury announced that Harriet Tubman will soon appear on the $20 bill replacing Andrew Jackson. Thanks to her, many people were able to live their lives free and well. We also now know what it is to fight for what we think is
Mother Jones believed that working children needed more pay and less harsh working conditions. Josephson says, “In countless shacks and shanties across the country, she had tied the shoes of children, wiped their noses, hugged them while they cried, scrambled to find food for them, fought for their rights” (Mother Jones: Fierce Fighter for Workers’ Rights). Jones may not have lived through the conditions Chavez or Watson had, but she was still just as passionate and devoted activist as any other. At one point, Mother Jones made an important decision, “She and the textile union leaders would stage their own tour. They would march the mill children all the way to the president of the United States—Theodore Roosevelt. Mother Jones wanted the president to get Congress to pass a law that would take children out of the mills,
