HARRIET TUBMAN UNDERGROUND RAILROAD VISITOR CENTER OPENING
The grand opening for the Harriet Tubman Visitor Center in Cambridge will be open to the public on March 11th . This beautiful, new facility is an important asset for our community. I am proud, and honored, to have this center in our area.
The visitor center provides the opportunity to educate current and future generations about the courage and heroism of Mrs. Tubman. Here is an amazing venue to share her story as we honor the woman, who led countless to freedom, and devotedly served her country during one of America’s darkest times.
The new center provides us with the chance to celebrate our deep rich cultural heritage , review the story of a local daughter and ponder the implications for us all today. Visitors from across Maryland, the nation and other countries , will have the opportunity to explore the area and center to learn about our history on the Underground Railroad.

Token whites. I doubt this memorial park will be very popular. Don't look for too many Whites visiting this memorial.
9:00 why do we have to keep going back to Slavery, why do we have to keep spending money to make tributes for Slavery. we have tributes to Lincoln, presidents etc, etc. etc. but we don't constantly keep creating new ones to drum up the past. We fought a civil war to end slavery. The conservatives in this country created the civil rights act, eliminated segregation. ok now lets stop reversing ourselves and going back. if you didn't notice it is your racism in the comment that you made.
I'm a slave, just ask my wife.
Sick of the constant reminders of black slavery. There is not a racial group on the planet that hasn't been enslaved at one point or another. The history of war and conquest prove this. Tired of all the BS of so called white privilege, white devils, and hate whitey movements to try and pit one race against another.
If you want to talk about black slavery, start with Africa and the Muslim slaves masters who captured and sold slaves to the slave trade.
What about the Quakers who helped runaway slaves go north to freedom? You fail to mention, that if not for them, the underground railroad would have never worked in the first place.
