 * I live in New York City, New York, but I was born in the South....I think South Carolina.I was married to a successful boy named Josh Long when I was 11 years old.I ran away to the North at the age of 10 so I wouldnt be a slave.Now my husband and I are now helping with the Underground Railroad to help free the slaves. My mother was named Cheryl and my father was named Robert. I am a mixed child my mother is black and my dad is white. They raised 3 girls and 3 boys. Their names are(by oldest to youngest)Brian, Robert, Jarvis, Lisa, Tynia, and Alia. I was the oldest girl in the family, so I had to be responsible for everything. My father was what you called a Driver thats when you are in charge of the whole slave line. So we were kinda like the important family. Now that my husband and I are on the Underground Railroad as conductors we have saved over 100 people and havent lost a soul, in that bunch we had rescued my mother, father, and my sisters and brothers and also his family. I have did all these things and Im nothing but 16 years old.**

Entry Number 1:Harriet Tubman (My Hero)

 * I work with Harriet Tubman on the Underground Railroad. She is a truly God-loving woman.She has saved over 300 hundred people alone and has made 19 trips to the north. From what I heard she was a slave born in Dorchester County. I also heard she married a free black man named John Tubman. she told me the reason why she ran away was because a slave owner wanted to buy some more slaves she told me that she was scared so she ran away. The pathway that she chose was to follow the North Star. Not only did she runaway by herself but she also came back to get all of her family. She came back for her husband but he had another wife so she went to get other slaves. To everybody including me considered her to be the Black Moses.**

Entry Number 2:Sarah Grimike(The Abolitionist)

 * I met Miss Grimike before. When I met her I ask could she tell me about her life, she said she surely will. She told me she was born on November 26,1792. She was born in South Carolina. She was a daughter of a plantation owner that believed in slavery and in subordinating the status of women. She also told me her father was also an attorney and judge for South Carolina. She wanted to follow in her fathers footsteps to be an attorney but she couldnt get the proper education she needed to become one. Sometimes she followed her Quaker belief because in the Quaker belief women were not supposed to be the speakers the men were. She also did some good things but were considered illegal, like she taught her personal slave how to read. That personal slave turned out to be my mother. Now thats a coinsidence. Her and her sister were the first women to stand up in a public way and speak their mind about slavery. After her father passed in 1821 she decided to move to Philadelphia. She eventually came back to convince her sister to move to Philadelphia with her. Later in 1829 she was convinced and she decided to come. She published a book called** **__Epstile to the Clergy of the Southern States.__**
