For her tireless efforts and singular success in single handedly liberating over a thousand African Americans held in slavery; and for her guidance in the engineering of the UnderGround Railroad, which was instrumental in securing the freedom of thousands more African American slaves;and for her personal sacrifices made to secure the total abolition of slavery in the United States, I recommend that Harriet Tubman (Davis) be awarded the highest civilian recognition in this country: The Presidential Medal of Freedom.
