The DR3 Ladies Lab Coat takes inspiration from Harriet Tubman, one of the most well-known “conductors” of the Underground Railroad, she personally freed over 300 slaves over eleven years. Described as one of the most remarkable women in American history, Harriet Tubman was born a slave in the early 1820’s. In 1849, Tubman escaped from slavery with her two brothers, but once they’d left, the brothers had second thoughts and they returned to the plantation. Harriet had no plans to stay, and after seeing her brother's home, she set off again. Making use of the network known as the Underground Railroad, she travelled nearly 90 miles; crossing the free state line into Pennsylvania. Rather than remaining in the safety of the North, Harriet made it her mission to rescue her family and other slaves. Using her own money she made separate journeys to rescue her sister and brother, and in 1851, she guided a group of eleven slaves North; earning herself the nickname Moses. She called ‘Moses of the People,’ largely because she was so successful at leading slaves out of the South into the North, which was symbolically known as the ‘promised land.’ During the Civil War, Harriet became the first woman to lead an armed expedition. Guiding the Combahee River Raid liberating more than 700 slaves in South Carolina. An incredibly brave woman, Harriet Tubman sacrificed her own life and had a hand in freeing over 1000 people. In April 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the new $20 bill. A decision which has been widely praised throughout the U.S.
