DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nHarriet Tubman as a Woman 
 Warrior\nby Al Sargis, Director, Friedrich Engels Institute of Marxist War 
 & Military Analysis\n\n   The recent (2019) film, Harriet, left many 
 aspects of Harriet Tubman’s life and work unexplored.  Tubman's military 
 exploits include being head of military intelligence of the Department of 
 the Potomac and her planning, organizing and leading the only amphibious 
 assault by a woman in US history.  Also, little known is both her 
 co-planning of John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry and furnishing some of 
 John Brown's troops.  Additionally, she was an army hospital nurse.  This 
 perspective on Tubman is described in one book as "America's most unsung 
 Civil War general."  It is why General Grant regarded Harriet Tubman as 
 "worth many regiments in the Northern forces" and John Brown called her 
 "General".  While known for her work in the Underground Railroad, little 
 is mentioned about how this prepared her for her later activities with John 
 Brown and during the Civil War. This lecture will cover how each phase of 
 her life groomed her for the next one: from before and during the 
 Underground Railroad, her relationship with John Brown and, finally, her 
 little known Civil War exploits. Tubman's turn to armed revolutionary 
 struggle to abolish slavery in contrast to many, if not most, 
 abolitionists, and its political, moral and religious basis, will be an 
 underlying theme.\n   Gerald Smith may join us to say a few words from a 
 Black HISTORICAL context.\n\nSunday, Feb 23, 2020 – 10:30am-12:30pm\n6501
