Harriet Tubman Honored With Statues in CA and NJ

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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.
