The Saturday ceremony in Wyman Park Dell, on the 105th anniversary of Tubman’s death, happened only a few feet from the bare pedestal where a large, bronze statue of Lee and Jackson riding horses once stood. The space will now be called Harriet Tubman Grove.
“We stand on the shoulders of this great woman,” Ernestine Jones-Williams, 71, a descendant of the iconic civil rights leader who spoke on behalf of the family, said, reports the Baltimore Sun. “We are overwhelmed. Overwhelmed. Thank you, and God bless you.”
The statue had stood in the park since 1948, but was removed in August amid a national debate and protests over Confederate monuments and symbols, and how they are viewed. Many people see them as offensive reminders of slavery and racism -- while others consider them a part of their Southern heritage.

Liberals changing history to suit their narrative.
I guess she "deserves" a monument in a city like Baltimore
4:38, they probably should. Atleast you would think that those who believe in the ideals enshrined in the US Constitution would support doing so.
453, how exactly does this "change" history?
It offends me tear it down
Exactly4:56 perfect place to exhibit what she stood for.
519 Harriet's statue is now located where a century old statue was. Changed history! Get it?
If No Confederate statues , Then No Tubman statues !!!!
Good to know. I'll rush right up for a visit next time Harm City has an extended cease-fire.
The next one erected will be Louis Farrakhan. It will be erected next to ex-mayor of DC.
5:19 tell the guy they should change history, she hasn't a clue.
POS racist Dirt Bags! It's part of the White Cleansing and Genocide of America.
And to be honest white people are the blame for not fighting back.
More than anything white people are at fault for moving out of these big cities! Why did this happen? Why did they move out of the cities and leave the leadership in the hands of these black criminal Democrats? Dumbass white people!

Agreed! Baltimore was a Confederate City. Maybe whites should buy up all the rental property and kick out the renters forcing them into Baltimore County. Lets take our City back!
Very suiting for Baltimore. Tubman carried a gun and threatened to murder anyone who had second thoughts or wanted to turn away. She was a very violent woman. Only the Lord knows how many she ended up murdering. Yes a very suiting monument for a very violent city. This is why she lived so long. Even the devil didn't want the evil woman.
Maryland was both a Union/Confederate state. Many family members fought against each other. And many God-fearing people understood that enslavement is sin and helped escaped slaves move northward to freedom. Let the people of Baltimore take a stand for what's being done there.
Until ALL Confederate Statues are put Back in place >>
