March 10th is the annual celebration of Harriet Tubman Day. For those unfamiliar with Harriet Tubman, she was a former slave who devoted herself to the relentless fight for the freedom of other slaves by aiding their escape from captivity. Tubman's legacy is commemorated across the United States, particularly in Maryland and New York—two states that held profound significance in her life.

Renowned for establishing the Underground Railroad, a network of safe houses utilized to assist slaves in their escape, Harriet Tubman left an indelible mark on history. Harriet Tubman Day serves as a moment to reflect on the heroic endeavors of this remarkable woman and to honor her legacy by actively combating racism wherever it is encountered.
