Come join Laurel in the Smoke Circle in her old man sweater and get a taste of the Half Baked as we talk the badass that is Harriet Tubman.
How much do you know about Harriet Tubman? In this half baked mini episode, Laurel sparks one up and talks about the life of Harriet Tubman, the most successful "conductor" of the Underground Railroad and the "Moses of Her People."
Tubman's name is very famous in American history and she was a total badass of a human being. Did you know in addition to helping free potentially hundreds upon hundreds of enslaved men, women and children, she was also a Civil War spy, nurse and the first woman in American history to help lead a major military operation?
