ALEX AND LISA GREEN OF HARRIET TUBMAN TOURS (Eric Martin Koppelman)

When I was a kid, I remember flipping through my history book and stumbling upon that vibrant page with a picture of Harriet Tubman. They only briefly covered her story, mentioning how she helped countless slaves escape to the north. Little did I know that one day, I would have an experience that would blow my mind while riding on a tour bus in Dorchester County, Maryland with the incredible Alex Green from Harriet Tubman Tours.

It was back in 2007 when Alex and his wife Lisa embarked on a mission to bring the legendary American hero, Harriet Tubman, to life. Now, let me tell you, I've been on plenty of tours all over the USA. Usually, the tour guides would point at empty parking lots and say, "Hey, that's where this famous building used to be."

But Alex was different. He didn't just show us spots on a map; he transported us back in time. With his passion and knowledge, he made Harriet Tubman's story come alive right before our eyes. It was like stepping into a time machine and experiencing history firsthand.
