Created by black artist Meta Warrick Fuller, it depicts a man and woman metaphorically from bondage. Born a slave, Harriet Tubman is recognized as the mother of the Underground Railroad, a dangerous escape route for slaves to freedom. Beginning in 1850, Tubman's tenacity and emboldened spirit helped 300 black men and women escape slavery. Her brilliance as a speaker galvanized abolitionists in Boston to become a leading force in 19th century history.
