The photos we all grow up seeing famed freedom fighter Harriet Tubman are usually like this:
I also remember this one:
But as Mic reports, we have a brand new image to add to our American historical record:
The new image was uncovered thanks in part to historian Kate Clifford Larson, who saw the image in a photo album once owned by Tubman's friend and fellow abolitionist Emily Howland. The image, Larson said to the Citizen, an Alabama paper, "surprised me, and I think it's going to surprise a lot of people."
"What's remarkable about this photograph is that she's so proud and dignified and beautiful," Larson said. "She looks so young. This is the vibrant young Tubman just coming off her work during the Civil War. She's building her life with her family in Auburn."
Larson believes this image places Tubman in her mid-40s.
