Buddha once said, In separateness lies the worlds great misery;
in compassion lies the worlds true strength. By this he meant
that when we are separated by the things we classify people by in
society, we are not truly happy. Only if we unite can we be all be
satisfied with our successes. Buddha is the founder of the religion
Buddhism, one that focuses on suffering in life. He tries to better
the world and its people, much like Jones, Chavez, and Tubman. They
were all great defenders of human rights, but the most impactful of
all was
Harriet
Tubman. Tubman was born into slavery. As a child, she was
neglected and treated horribly. Even when she was supposed to be
freed, her owner broke some laws and refused. Growing up, she

She even
devoted almost her entire life to defending human rights. From the
Underground Railroad to the Civil War, Tubman fought for slaves
freedom for years. After the Civil War, Tubman bought a seven-acre
plot for $1,200 from a fellow abolitionist, Senator William H.
Seward. Despite her state of poverty, she donated a parcel of her
land to the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Auburn. The
Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged opened on this site in 1908
(Biography). This shows that Tubman wanted to help, regardless of
all she had done already. Near the end of her life, she was active
in the women's suffrage movement, and was soon working alongside
women such as Susan B. Anthony. Harriet traveled to New York,
Boston and Washington, DC to speak out in favor of women's voting
rights (MacLean). This signifies that Tubman wanted to keep
fighting for human rights until the end. Clearly, Harriet Tubman
made a huge impact in the world of slaves. Fighting for freedom and
rights for the better part of her life, she made a big

They all
accomplished a lot in their respective fields, but Harriet Tubman
had the most effect. She used the Underground Railroad to help
hundreds of slaves go free; served in the Civil War as a cook,
nurse, spy, and a military leader; and she devoted her life and
what little money she had to others. Throughout the entire course
of her life, she had risked her life countless times and sacrificed
so much for the sake of others. There are several others like
Harriet Tubman in our world, but not enough. It is important for us
to defend our human rights because they can make our
