The Harriet Tubman “Journey to Freedom” sculpture is scheduled to arrive in Haverstraw tomorrow. Rockland Human Rights Commissioner Constance Frazier says the placement of the Harriet Tubman sculpture in the county is a first…
Born a slave in 1822, Tubman rescued scores of slaves after she escaped, using a network known as the Underground Railroad. She served as a Union scout and spy during the Civil War and was active in securing the right to vote for women. The 9-foot, 24-hundred pound bronze sculpture is a traveling exhibit that will be on display at the Haverstraw African American Memorial Park located at 41 Clinton Street through June 7th.
