Rita DanielsRita Daniels is the great-great-great-grandniece of Harriet Tubman and one of the primary stewards of her family's living oral history.  Harriet Tubman: Military Scout and Tenacious Visionary is the first Tubman biography to draw on dirct family memory since Harriet herself was interviewed in 1886.

The stories Rita Daniels brings to this work — passed through generations of the Tubman family — illuminate Harriet Tubman in ways the archival record alone cannot. Her contribution gave this biography access to a category of historical truth unavailable to any other researcher.

Rita Daniels is the President and Founder of the Harriet Tubman Learning Center (HTLC) in Powder Springs, Georgia, dedicated to the education of underserved children.
