       The tour was very good—the upshot is basically that Harriet Tubman was a total bad-ass and direct action gets the goods. Very impressed with 19th c. Abolitionists.Tomorrow will mark 165 years since Charles Nalle was rescued in Troy, NY.

       Happy Charles Nalle Rescue Day! “The moment they appeared, Harriet roused from her stooping posture, threw up a window, and cried to her friends: ‘Here he comes—take him!’ and then darted down the stairs like a wild-cat. She seized one officer and pulled him down, then another, and tore him away from the man; and keeping her arms about the slave, she cried to her friends: ‘Drag us out! Drag him to the river! Drown him! but don't let them have him!’”https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4h2947t.html
