When: Saturday, May 8, 2021, 2:30 pm (official HAAC program begins at 3)
Where: Haverstraw African-American Historical Park, 41 Clinton Street, Haverstraw

This is a meetup announcement for history enthusiasts. All are welcome!

The Haverstraw African-American Connection (HAAC) will host the nationally touring sculpture Harriet Tubman: Journey to Freedom from April 20 through June 18, 2021. Join us as we meet up on May 8 to view the statue and attend the HAAC’s special Saturday program celebrating local women. 

This program is part of a series of weekend programs to honor not just Harriet, the Underground Railroad conductor, but also Harriet, the Civil War scout, spy, nurse, activist and humanitarian. 

The sculpture, created by Wesley Wofford, is filled with symbolism and commemorates the resilience and contributions of strong women throughout history. Learn more about the sculpture and the other auxiliary programs at www.thehaac.com.

Please note that this event will take place entirely outdoors, so be sure to dress accordingly. Also, masks/facial coverings must be worn and safe social distances maintained during this Meetup.
