TV show “Timeless” says Tubman had streets named for her in England or elsewhere. Can’t verify, but article says “several states”.

Semi-protected edit request on 3 July 2021

The information on Harriet Tubman about the times she led slaves to freedom and how many is incorrect on the Wikipedia Harriet Tubman page. She returned to the south 17 times and led 300 slaves to freedom. This information in one of many came from Biography.com Lulamae1914 (talk) 05:08, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see mostly of the references of this article may be confusing for a normal user. Just looking for the name and year on Internet (Clinton 2004, Larson 2004) doesn't seem to give a result of what the reference may be (in some cases). Shouldn't there be some link to a reliable readable online version of the book or, if not, an ISBN code? --The Typos Checker (fixed typos) 22:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
