Don't miss your opportunity to see the sculpture. The City of White Plains will be the only location in southern New York State to host the "Harriet Tubman - The Journey to Freedom" sculpture in 2022.
Harriet Tubman was an escaped enslaved woman who became a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, leading enslaved people to freedom before the Civil War, all while carrying a bounty on her head. But she was also a nurse, a Union spy and a women's suffrage supporter. Tubman is one of the most recognized icons in American history and her legacy has inspired countless people from every race and background.
