Black History Month -- Harriet Tubman


[Michael RosatoTake My Hand, 2019]

Harriet Tubman (c.1822-1913)

American escaped slave,
abolitionist and social activist,
conductor on the Underground Railroad.

Isn't this art wonderful?
I love how she is emerging from the mural,
stepping out of frame, extending her hand,
helping the viewer enter the scene.

As if she is saying,
"Fear not. Have courage.
Come with me. Your freedom awaits."
