"Night Flyer" by Tiya Miles

Season 2024 Episode 15

With her characteristic tenderness and imaginative genius, Miles explores beyond the stock historical grid to weave Harriet Tubman’s life into the fabric of her world. Tubman traversed many boundaries, and thanks to Miles, she becomes an even clearer and sharper signal from the past, one that can help us to find a more just and sustainable path.
