- There have been coast-to-coast tributes for Harriet Tubman, a woman who risked her life to bring others to freedom. In Pomona, California, community leaders dedicated a statue that shows Tubman pointing towards freedom. The sculptor is an 82-year-old artist named Manuelita Brown, who created the bronze monument in just three months. Officials in Newark, New Jersey, unveiled an interactive statue honoring the trailblazer. This monument includes an audio component, voiced by rapper and actress Queen Latifah.
She's a hero in upstate NY as a child you can go on a field trip to her homestead and learn about her amazing women!
So lucky to have been able to do that as a kid! I’m too far away.
Oh you mean the state that was never a slave state? You mean that one?
An amazing tribute to one of the bravest women in history.
That's far fetched. She was brave, sure but the bravest? Not even. Ann frank was bravest, Joan of arc was bravest, queen Victoria was amazing, brave and smart. But Harriet wasn't wasn't bravest lol. That's a massive exaggeration
This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Harriet Tubman was a BRAVE woman who risk her life to free others.She is never to be forgotten.
Wonderful! Finally these selfless heroes of history being brought to the forefront and honored.
Yes. Up there with rest of the selfless heroes like our confiderste soldiers who won infamous battles to protect our freedom, our founding fathers who built and created the country and slave less state we have today...all selfless heroes.
It may not be the most pleasant and accurate looking statue but it's the thought that counts and I'm grateful for it
She is a legend.
Such an Honor for a legendary Historical Woman of Color! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is awesome!❤🎉
Well this is a beautiful thing she absolutely deserve it🤔
Amazingly, they put this statue up in a state that had NO slavery!! They should have put one up years ago. But in a state that actually lived through slavery.
I know. And no one has turned away from her. She is taught in history everyone knows who she is lol. This is just black supremacy. They tear down statues of white heros but demand only individuals who have their skin color be worshiped for being black then make crazy claims that aren't true and do it in a state that never had slavery that was always a free state. Can't wait until DeSantis wins 2024 presidential election so this will finally be stopped and we can all go back to normal. Never seen an uglier race of people than that of black supremacists.
Why not in Maryland, her home state?
It's the black supremacists way of trying change history because they want to take credit for all of our accomplishments and to try reinforce their lie that this was a slave state when everyone knows it wasn't. They can try all they want but they will never change it. 🙄 once we get a real president in 2024 this will all be put to am end, they will be held accountable and we will go back to normal.
First MLK now her🤦🏾♂️. They're artists out there that will do a better job for free.
Get out here here racist
May Harriet Tubman be remembered, forever.
I am offended, tear it down!
Harriet Tubman was a BAD ASS!!!! God asked a simple girl w/a head injury & she said YES!!!
Lol no. God asked as a man named Moses and he said yes. I know you're desperate to be put on a pedestals God says self worship and comparing yourselves to him or the ones he has actually chosen will lead him to smite you.
I only wish I could be there to see it. You will never be us. You will never be what God asked. You will never succeed in changing history to fit your delusions of grandure God didnt ask her anything. Lol. God asked Moses to free the slaves and lead ALL people out of Egypt and parted an entire red sea along with an arc that saved pairs of each animal to prevent extinction. Harriet Tubman had a tunnel and gathered a lot of her people in the south to use it to leave. Not even close to being the same. Lol nice try and keep dreaming that rich fantasy life you have going on
This is beautiful ❤❤❤❤
A brave woman.
Love the history behind her story. Very courageous and adventurous!
So am go to stand up take my people with me 🗣️
Harriet Turman deserves to be honored for what she did. She should be on american money instead of the presidents that owned slaves in the past
George Washington struggled with the institution of slavery and wrote of his desire to end the practice. At the end of his life, Washington made the decision to free all of the enslaved people and gave precise instructions to emancipate them in his 1799 will.
Our founding fathers will not be slandered with your bigotry and hate. They gave us everything we have today. How can you be so ungrateful and filled with hate amd racism?
@c. s. Do you seriously think washington tried to do that? It has never been proven oh amd also you know how washington had dentures well instead of horse teeth or fake wooden teeth like schools tell u they were forcibly taken from slaves. Almost all the presidents we had up until Lincoln were jokes. I'm happy that Lincoln is on money, not any of the others
@@c.s.440 Emancipation Proclamation curiosity of Lincoln. I would suggest you read it sometime. A will from a past president isn't law. *pats you on the head*
There is a God after all. A part of history with a story for the greater good, compassion and humanity😊
it’s great but california had no slavery which makes it seem less significant
Long Overdue 💪🏻❤️
Statue of legend made to resemble *Handsome Squidward* 😂
But yet, they don’t honor Jesus, for dying for our sins! What a sad wicked world we live it. ❤
When a religion turns away from loving people and starts spreading hate people won't be very fond of that religion's ideology and symbols.
I agree, this country has gone mad!
@@miked8728 how strange I never said anything about rioters but you're bring it up
@@miked8728 Please explain; I want to know why. I'm genuinely curious.
@@CrayloRen I love all people, and Harriet Tubman is one of my favorite people in history. My love for her came in a book I read in elementary school, and every since she has been my 2nd favorite person in history. I agree with the statue in her honor. ❤️
Who knows maybe in my lifetime I will see monument in mainstream America maybe several of them have Native American who knows who knows one can dream English
i've been waiting for them to do this:)
alot better than some statue of a former slave owner or confederate "hero"
True. I actually had to study in Harriet Tubman and damn her story is literally like a railroad. From getting hit in the head by a weight that could’ve killed her to being strong and escape slavery to playing sly tactics to hide her identity. She’s one clever and amazing woman.
🤎🤎🤎🤎
How many weeks until they're torn down?
That’s good. Long overdue. Would have been more effective if it was decades sooner.
Rip Harriet Tubman Thank you For Freedom. I'm white .but Race Doesn't matter . Rip Harriet Tubman Thank you
Lmfao why do black history statues gotta look so weird but the white statues look like their people whom it was made for I understand creativity but I just wanna see a brown statue of whomever it is supposed to be
Well, our people accomplished world changing thing's. The accomplished finding and building an entire country of freedom amd everything we all have today, they founded America, they've fought, led and won amd died in civil and revolutionary wars to protect all of us and what we have, they made sure to make slavery illegal in parts of the South that had slavery, they created our constitution, they invented everything throughout history so we owe them a lot and they deserve to be commemorated properly.
The lesser magnitude accomplishments I mean... she didn't create a country of freedom or free an entire state of people or do anything for ALL people. Martin Luther King was black but he was for ALL people amd he did something on a global scale because of it so his statue looks like him. The white statues were individuals who did something remarkable on a global scale for ALL as well. When you do something for ALL people you show true humanity without bigotry or racism. Harriet Tubman did something for a centrally located area in a state that had slavery which isn't here or where that statue even is so it makes no sense to have it. It would make more sense to have the statue in the state and area this took place at.
Those individuals who stand for ALL people and accomplish something remarkable on a global scale deserve to be memorialized on a much higher scale. Her accomplishment was on a much smaller scale that was centralized and not for ALL people. Therefore the appropriate amount of work matches. And her statue should be moved in the state that actually had slavery and where it happened lol. This whole things is rediculous lol.
I would love to have her on bills
Pretty sure our nation's "original sin" was desecrating and strongarming the Natives that were already here. But that's just me. What do I know?
And who were natives desecrated by ? Surely not by Harriet or black people
@@habituallinestepper3927 you enslaved our people so shut tfu
TEAR THOSE IDOLS DOWN
The statue looks cartoonish
I think it’s awesome that the give a highlight to her and that time. Yet I don’t think it’s a good thing they they take out so many other historical statues. They just pick and choose what’s to be seen/remembered. SMH.
❤❤❤
Hollywood should've make a Movie about Her to represent Black Women instead of "Woman King" that overshadowed the Key history of Slave Trade which now known as "Africa's" "Birth of the Nation"
She already has a movie-
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Surprised it didn’t look crazy like that mlk statue 😂😂😂
And had a Gift of Premonition. ❤
Aren't statues really idols?
