Bonus: The Ultimate Outdoorswoman from Out There

About this episode

Subtitle: How Harriet Tubman could change your perspective on who belongs outdoors Episode description: You probably learned about Harriet Tubman in school growing up — how she led slaves to freedom on the underground railroad. But she was a lot more than an activist and freedom fighter. She was a daughter, wife, entrepreneur — and a talented outdoorswoman. This bonus episode from the podcast Out There explores Tubman’s relationship with nature; we unpack how that history shapes the way Black Americans engage with the outdoors today; and we show how a closer look at Tubman could offer new perspectives on who belongs outdoors. Victoria Marin has the story.
