After Lincoln\u2019s call to arms in 1861, she volunteered for duty; beginning her Civil War career as a nurse, but soon served in occupied Carolina. She assisted with military operations, including the Combahee River Raid in June 1863. After the war, Tubman raised funds for freed people and reunited with her extended family in upstate New York.  After lengthy struggles, in 1899 Tubman was finally granted a government pension for her service, allowing her to continue her social justice work and fund her charity home in Auburn, New York.  Her fame was not insured outside the black community until a growing number of popular children\u2019s books at the end of the twentieth century celebrated her heroism.  In the 21st century, her life has been explored more fully, and her accomplishments earned renewed interest, particularly with the announcement on April 20, 2016 that the U.S. Treasury will honor her as the first woman to grace the front of U.S. currency:  Tubman\u2019s portrait will appear on the front of the redesigned twenty dollar bill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Catherine Clinton<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/Clinton-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/Clinton-150x150.jpg 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/Clinton-50x50.jpg 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/Clinton-75x75.jpg 75w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/Clinton.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Catherine Clinton grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, and received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University, followed by her Ph.D. from Princeton University.
