“Take My Hand” Mural by Michael Rosato at the Harriet Tubman Museum in Cambridge, MD.
The Harriet Tubman Museum & Education Center (Stop #6 on the Tubman Byway) has unveiled its newest mural, “Minty’s Act of Courage,” featuring a site of great significance in Tubman’s life. Created by artist Michael Rosato, the mural – painted on all four walls of the room – captures views from the Bucktown General Store (Stop #18 on the Tubman Byway). This site is where Tubman had her first act of defiance as a young girl – and where she nearly lost her life. The artist is the same one who created the famous “Take My Hand” mural (pictured here), also at the Tubman Museum. This small museum has been run by dedicated volunteers for decades and is located in downtown Cambridge, Maryland at 424 Race St.
