Harriet Tubman Day

To celebrate Harriet Tubman Day next month, the new Beacon of Hope sculpture will be the scene for music, stories and reminiscences that connect, inspire and engage. The program, sponsored by Alpha Genesis Community Development Corp. and the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center, will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 11, and is free and open to the public. The location for this occasion is especially appropriate – the new Beacon of Hope sculpture of Harriet Tubman that was just unveiled last fall at the Dorchester County Courthouse, 206 High Street, Cambridge. In case of rain, the event will be held inside at the Harriet Tubman Museum, 424 Race Street, Cambridge.
