Today's History Lesson
While correcting U.S. History tests this evening I learned something new, from one of my students. "Ann Frank" was a girl who helped slaves escape via the Underground Railroad. I guess that means Harriet Tubman was a Jewish girl who had to live in hiding for years during World War II...

Really?? Wow, I learn something new every day! All along I've believed Anne Frank was the Jewish girl!
I suspect the revisionists changed it because they knew "The Diary of Harriet Tubman" would never become an internaional best-seller. So glad we got straightened out and know the truth now.
No, Rosa Parks was the Jewish girl. Harriet Tubman was the Shoshone girl who helped the Lewis & Clark expedition.
Ha ha. I'm glad I have friends who can make me laugh (as well as students)! :-)
ROFLOL...
Hahaha...
Thanks for the laugh, C.S., one can never have too many. :)
You mean Harriette Tubman.
ahs, most people spell the name "Harriet Tubman," even if you might have a text or other source that uses that alternate spelling.
