Harriet Tubman Tea Towel

£15.00

Harriet Tubman, born Araminta Ross (1822-1913), was an American abolitionist and political activist. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved people, family and friends, using the network of ant-islavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped abolitionist John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry.

During the American Civil War she served as an armed scout and spy for the US Army. In her later years Harriet Tubman was an activist in the struggle for women's suffrage. 

This tea towel is made from sturdy, half panama weave, unbleached cotton, and it's designed and made in the UK. The special inks used to print this design mean that its colour will last in the wash.

Use it for its original purpose or frame it and hang it on a wall.

Size: 48cm x 70cm.
