Hey, I know that Cicely Tyson played her in the made for tv movie. I
can't remember studying her at school. But I can remember reading a
mystery book where one of the clues was a wrong facing Eagle which was
a marker for the Underground Railway.

I was forced to write a report on Harriet Tubman in middle school. I got an
A.
That is what I remembered about Harriet Tubman until a few weeks ago when a
young schooled friend showed me HER report on Harriet Tubman. NOW I know a
little of who she was, because I found the report really interesting. In
fact, it caused me to research her on the internet. And now I have retained
information because I learned it of my own free will and interest. Does it
matter that I got it at 41 instead of 12? I can't recall having a negatively
impacted life thus far having lived without that information :o)
Back then, I HATED that I had to write it, and did it with little interest
and great resentment. And I learned nothing, except of course that I was
controlled and little and powerless.

I remember that Harriet Tubman had a disease that caused her to fall asleep suddenly and with no regard to where she was or what she was doing.
I don't recall *studying* Amelia at all when I was in school, but have read/seen a number of things about her in the past 10 years.

Yesterday, while unpacking, I came across a book about Harriet Tubman and a
book about Amelia Earhart. Before unschooling, when Brenna was maybe 10, we
were using an Oak Meadow curriculum and they must be from that time.
So I asked both kids what they knew about these women. Logan (12) knew that
Amelia Earhart was a pilot who they think was lost at sea in the Bermuda
Triangle. He thought he'd seen a reference to it on Family Guy or maybe some
other TV show.
Brenna remembers Amelia Earhart having a gap between her teeth and people
teaching her to smile without showing it. She knew general information about
her also but that is what sticks out in her mind.
She knew Harriet Tubman was involved in the underground railroad but what
she remembers most about her was that she had narcolepsy from being hit in the
head by a brick which caused her to fall asleep during meetings.
She said that she knew both of those things from sources other than the
books I made her read when she was 10! <g>
