On One of Two Rights

by Harriet Tubman

"...there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would have the other, for no man chould take me alive. I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me."
