In September the new Tubman Memorial was dedicated at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park & Visitor Center (Stop #13 on the Tubman Byway). The memorial honors James McGowan, Earl Conrad, John Creighton, and Evelyn Townsend — all of whom helped research, preserve, and share Harriet Tubman’s story and legacy, helping lead to the establishment of the state park in Tubman’s honor. Family and friends of the honorees spoke during the dedication, which was part of the Emancipation Day event on Sept. 15. We are grateful to all who have played a part in preserving and sharing Harriet Tubman’s legacy.
