You know, this is like the nth time I seen this joke/comparison and everytime I want to joke about "oh she would be branded a terrorist, there will be a media circus, they'll make movies about her pursuers", but realized that is roughly the same thing she faced back in her day.
During a train ride to New York in 1869, the conductor told her to move from a half-price section into the baggage car. She refused, showing the government-issued papers that entitled her to ride there. He cursed at her and grabbed her, but she resisted and he summoned two other passengers for help. While she clutched at the railing, they muscled her away, breaking her arm in the process. They threw her into the baggage car, causing more injuries. As these events transpired, other white passengers cursed Tubman and shouted for the conductor to kick her off the train.

Hell, this literally happened to her:
God damn America.
