HARRIET
HARRIET
The Woman They Couldn’t Catch
by James Johnson
Dedication
For every step taken in the dark.
For every breath held in the woods.
For every woman who ran and never stopped running.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
TO THE ONES who told me the truth, not the version carved in stone.
To the ones who still whisper her name in reverence, resistance, and remembrance.
And to Harriet herself, whose footsteps still echo louder than any monument.
