Harriet Tubman, a courageous woman who escaped slavery, became a legendary conductor on the Underground Railroad. She risked her life to guide hundreds of enslaved people to freedom, using the cover of night and her relentless determination.

Martin Luther King Jr., a leader of the Civil Rights Movement, dreamed of a world where people are judged by their character, not the color of their skin. His powerful speeches and nonviolent protests changed the course of American history, leading to laws that protect everyone's rights.
