About This Quote
I raise up my voice-not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back. is a quote from Harriet Tubman, an anti-slavery activist and civil rights leader. She used her own voice and her own strength to help people escape slavery and return to their families. When she started out on this path, there were no places for people like her to go and she had to use all her means to help others.
She was the most powerful woman in the U.S., but she never wanted to be that way. She wanted people to know that, despite her power, she was just like them and that they could accomplish anything.
