Harriet Tubman is an American hero and global inspiration for people who have to struggle for justice, human dignity, and basic rights as world citizens. In an age of artificial and superfluous “fear factors,” Harriet Tubman overcame what most people, regardless of their place in time, never had to face. 2013 marks the Centennial Commemoration of Tubman’s passing. She lived and is buried in Auburn, NY, a place where aaduna calls home. Tubman’s legacy strengthens our conviction to motivate our readers to initiate neighborhood, community, and region-wide celebrations in her honor.
