"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If they're shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going." -- Harriet Tubman
I bear in my own body the marks, struggle, beauty, and hope of this great woman.
Whom does your very body bear witness of?
