    In the picture it looks Harriet Tubman on a slave farm. She is trying to run away by cutting her chains off her leg. Then she can be free finally. - Gene

    This picture is kind of hard to interpret. What I can see is the it looks as if someone is chained to a rock or something. This may represent the fact that the African-Americans felt abused and chained to how bad people treated them and no matter how hard they tried they couldn't get away from it.

    "Harriet Tubman - No. 10" Seems to depict a man in chains, buried or trapped underground. Above him are stars and what appears to be a snake, which he reaches for. This painting might be about a man or culture trying to break free of his/their chains and reach the stars where he/they believed they would shine. In Jacob Lawrence's own words, "If at times my productions do not express the conventionally beautiful, there is always an effort to express the universal beauty of man's continuous struggle to lift his social position and to add dimension to his spiritual being." -Molly J

    This picture by Jacob Lawrence called "Hariet Tubman - No. 10." Jacob's painting is dark and misterious in a way. He wanted to tell us what these people had to go through when wanting to find freedom. The painting uses dark edges and dull darker shades of colors. Jacob td us that we should stand up for these people.

    I think this picture is about a black woman tring to escape the south to be free in the North. I see this because the black woman has changs on his arms. Also the black woman is looking for the North Star. he back woman in the painting is a spy in the civil war.

    In this picture it looks like Harriet Tubman is escaping from slavery at night and she is running away even with chains attached to her.

    In the painting it looks like there is a man holding something and trying to get away from being a slave.

    In this picture there is a dark figure. The figure looks like he is imprisoned and can't escape from where he is being held. He has chains on one of his arms and is reaching up for something. I think the man is reaching for the stars, specifically the North Star.

    In this picture I think its suppose to show Harriet Tubman's struggle to get across to the other side, I see some sort of chains near is leg and a snake in the left hand corner. This depicts her physical struggle and I feel people can connect to it because everyone has a mental struggle.- Cat

    I believe that this painting, done by Jacob Lawrence, shows a scene of the Underground Railroad. Depicted in this image is a man clothed in a white robe. He is seemingly chained down to the ground, and he is blocked by an obstacle. However, the man reaches upward toward the North Star because the star provides hope of freedom.

    This painting represents hope for the runaway slaves. The slaves are looking at the birds as to go North. The birds represent the hope for those people.

    Instead of the North Star bringing these people to freedom and hope, the birds are the sign of hope and a new world in this scenario. The people are following the birds to the north and their seems to be hope, because the people have packed up their stuff, left their homes and are traveling to the north.
