In which Black History and Black Geekdom collide.
So this past summer when I saw Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, I geeked out when Harriet Tubman made a cameo.
I stated then that Ms. Tubman needed her own spinoff. Upon further research, I soon learned that portraying Tubman as a demon huntress wouldn’t require that much suspension of disbelief.
When I was in Grade 4, for English class we were given the choice of picking out our own books to read and write a short report on, and one of the first ones I picked for myself was a kind of history book on Hariet Tubman told with dramatization, like a docudrama, I suppose.
And the things she did were amazing, from what I can recall, so yeah, she could totally be a demon huntress.
You’re right, she definitely can hunt demons in her spare time.
I could also see Stagecoach Mary going around punching out demons way into her 70s.
