With American flags flying high among the audience, the striking statue of Harriet Tubman was dramatically unveiled as young and old welcomed this remarkable hero back to Cambridge.
The Cambridge Spy’s Julian Jackson Jr. was on hand to captured this moving event sponsored by the Alpha Genesis Community Development Corporation.

I’m 61 years Old remembering when schools had gotten desegregated, I had to walk to Academy Elementary school in neighborhood considered as White section. Never forgetting the slave block that was in front of Courthouse I was always fearful.
Today I can say it was all in Gods timing that Our Culture Heritage is excepted in my Hometown just wish my Grandmother Evelyn Jones was alive to see it. She would always say a Change is gonna come.
I’m so Grateful to be Alive to see this Magnificent Statue of Harriett Tubman of Our Culture History in front of the Courthouse. ❤️❤️TGBTG🙌
