#OtD 2 Jun 1863 the Combahee River raid took place, Harriet Tubman led 150 Black Union soldiers. The only woman-led military operation during the American civil war. 750 slaves were freed and the estates of several slaveowners were looted and burned https://t.co/vbCnsH3fnQ https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9200/harriet-tubman-raid?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Thanks for posting. I've read the Combahee River Collective statement, which first outlined intersectional analysis of oppression, several times, but didn't know it was named after this event.
