Harriet Tubman Day commemorates the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman, an African American abolitionist, humanitarian, and suffragist. Tubman, born into slavery, escaped to freedom and then dedicated her life to helping others find their way to freedom through the Underground Railroad. On this day, people celebrate Tubman's extraordinary courage, resilience, and commitment to the fight against slavery. The day also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for civil rights and the importance of individuals standing up against injustice to create a more equitable society.
